A changing stroke rehabilitation environment: Implications for upper limb interventions

These people are stuck in their own silo. The way to better upper limb recovery is through less dead and damaged neurons by stopping the neuronal cascade of death.

Abstract— Functional recovery of the upper limb is poor and as
many as 50% of stroke survivors still have impairments at 6
months post stroke, despite rehabilitation efforts. With the move
towards early supported discharge and community-based
rehabilitation, novel solutions are needed to deliver the amount of
quality therapy that is required for optimum recovery. We
propose a rehabilitation aid that provides patients with
augmented visual feedback of their motor performance during
task orientated upper limb therapy with the aim of facilitating
motor relearning and maximising patients functional outcomes.

Six pages of obvious conclusions.
In one word - repetition.
