Deans' stroke musings: The usefulness of ReoGoⓇ--J robot for upper limb training in subacute stroke patients: An exploratory comparative study using propensity score matching

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

The usefulness of ReoGoⓇ--J robot for upper limb training in subacute stroke patients: An exploratory comparative study using propensity score matching

Some images of the ReoGoⓇ--J robot in case you want to take on the impossible task of convincing your brain dead hospital that they should bring this in.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate the improvement of affected upper-extremity function in stroke patients in the subacute phase who received robotic therapy for 15 days. Participants were 36 patients who received the robotic therapy for 15 days (the intervention group) and 62 patients who received standard rehabilitation for one month (the control group) from June 2015 to August 2018. The proximal upper-extremity scores of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) were compared using propensity score matching of the intervention group and the control group. A total of 44 patients in both groups were matched by propensity score matching. Consequently, the proximal upper-extremity score of the FMA in the intervention group improved significantly more than in the control group. These results indicate that intervention using robotic therapy might efficiently improve the affected upper-extremity deficits for subacute stroke patients.
