Deans' stroke musings: Development of a Digital Mirror Therapy System with Closed-Loop Brain Modulation for Stroke Rehabilitation

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.

Development of a Digital Mirror Therapy System with Closed-Loop Brain Modulation for Stroke Rehabilitation

You took something as simple as mirror therapy and made it impossible for normal stroke hospitals to implement this.

Development of a Digital Mirror Therapy System with Closed-Loop Brain Modulation for Stroke Rehabilitation

Mirror therapy (MT) helps arm and hand recovery after stroke patients. Its digital form (DMT) makes training easier to use and allows more varied tasks. Non-invasive brain stimulation can add extra benefit when used with rehabilitation. A closed-loop approach goes one step further by reading EEG in real time and adjusting the stimulation to fit the patient’s current state. We built an integrated system that does this. It includes a light forehead-band EEG, a digital monitor-based DMT program, and intelligent tDCS/tACS/tTIS. The system is complete, and a clinical study is being prepared. We expect this closed-loop, EEG-guided DMT to improve motor recovery.
