So where EXACTLY do we get this device so our hospitals can use it on us before we become chronic?

Abstract: Study assessed the short-term effects of strenuous dynamic stretching of the elbow joint using an intelligent stretching device in chronic spastic stroke survivors. The intelligent stretching device was utilized to provide a single session of intensive stretching to the spastic elbow joint in the sagittal plane (i.e., elbow flexion and extension). The stretching was provided to the extreme range, safely, with control of the stretching velocity and torque to increase the joint range of motion (ROM) and reduce spasticity and joint stiffness. Eight chronic stroke survivors completed a single 40-minute stretching intervention session. Elbow passive and active ROM, strength, passive stiffness (quantifying the non-reflex component of spasticity), and instrumented tendon reflex test of the biceps tendon (quantifying the reflex component of the spasticity) were measured before and after stretching. After stretching, there was a significant increase in passive ROM of elbow flexion and extension. Also, elbow active ROM and the spastic elbow flexors showed a trend of increase in their strength. Findings suggest that intelligent stretching can be used to repeatedly and regularly stretch spastic elbow joints, which subsequently helps to reduce upper-limb impairments post-stroke.
