Deans' stroke musings: Post-stroke assistive rehabilitation robotic gloves

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.

Post-stroke assistive rehabilitation robotic gloves

With 55 posts on gloves and 165 posts on hand and 47 posts on fingers your therapists will know which one is most likely to bring back you hand/finger function. But I highly doubt that, so you are on your own researching rehab tools that will help you recover.

Post-stroke assistive rehabilitation robotic gloves

Abstract:

This paper presents the research activities and results which have been obtained to develop robotic gloves and its control system to be used for post-stroke hand rehabilitation. The practical results for robotic gloves development are shown from a mechanical, sensorial and control point of view. This work is focused on developing a lightweight and low-cost robotic glove used by patients in order to regain their hand movements. Robotic glove tele-operation was implemented with a tele-operation glove, having attached blending sensors, or a mobile device (phone) with Android.
