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.

Haptic-Enabled Hand Rehabilitation in Stroke Patients: A Scoping Review

Maybe there's something helpful in these 18 pages but I couldn't find the protocols or even guidelines.

Abstract: 

There is a plethora of technology-assisted interventions for hand therapy, however, less is
known about the effectiveness of these interventions. This scoping review aims to explore studies
about technology-assisted interventions targeting hand rehabilitation to identify the most effective
interventions. It is expected that multifaceted interventions targeting hand rehabilitation are more
efficient therapeutic approaches than mono-interventions. The scoping review will aim to map the
existing haptic-enabled interventions for upper limb rehabilitation and investigates their effects
on motor and functional recovery in patients with stroke. The methodology used in this review is
based on the Arksey and O’Malley framework, which includes the following stages: identifying
the research question, identifying relevant studies, study selection, charting the data, and collating,
summarizing, and reporting the results. Results show that using three or four different technologies
was more positive than using two technologies (one technology + haptics). In particular, when
standardized as a percentage of outcomes, the combination of three technologies showed better
results than the combination of haptics with one technology or with three other technologies. To
conclude, this study portrayed haptic-enabled rehabilitation approaches that could help therapists
decide which technology-enabled hand therapy approach is best suited to their needs. Those seeking
to undertake research and development anticipate further opportunities to develop haptic-enabled
hand telerehabilitation platforms.
