Deans' stroke musings: Promoting the use of the paretic upper-extremity in the real-world using the improved version of capener splint in the subacute stage after stroke

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.

Promoting the use of the paretic upper-extremity in the real-world using the improved version of capener splint in the subacute stage after stroke

I would never have allowed any use of CI therapy. I wouldn't have been able to eat, dress or go to the bathroom.

This seems to be the capener splint.

The spider splint seems to be referring to the Saebo-flex.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to use constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) combined with the improved version of a Capener splint to facilitate real-world use for stroke patients with no voluntary ﬁnger extension. Although CI therapy using the spider splint was used, the stroke patients refused to use the spider splint in the real-world, resulting in the development and use of the improved version of a Capener splint. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Wolf Motor Function Test, and Motor Activity Log showed significant improvement, and the improved version of the Capener splint resulted in higher scores than the spider splint in an evaluation of the degree of welfare equipment satisfaction. These results indicate that the improved version of a Capener splint might be a useful orthosis in CI therapy training.
