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.

Soft Robotic Glove with Alpha Band Brain Computer Interface for Post-Stroke Hand Function Rehabilitation

 It's not effective if you don't get to 100% recovery.

Soft Robotic Glove with Alpha Band Brain Computer Interface for Post-Stroke Hand Function Rehabilitation


Abstract:
Loss of hand dexterity is a major challenge faced by post-stroke patients who strive to resume their ordinary daily lives. Effective hand function rehabilitation treatment for such population is therefore necessary. A soft robotic glove system operated through SSVEP-based BCI has been reported to be an effective tool for post-stroke hand motor function recovery. This study further evaluated the application of visual stimulation in the alpha band for SSVEP-assisted rehabilitation. We compared the treatment outcome with stimulations within the alpha band to that outside the band. A total of 20 post-stroke patients with severe upper limb dysfunction were randomly assigned to alpha band group and non-alpha band group. The experiment result was assessed with Fugl-Meyer upper limb Motor Assessment (FMAUE) and alpha EEG oscillation analysis. The alpha band group showed slightly but notably higher FMA-UE scores (P<0.05), and significantly increased alpha wave EEG oscillations (P<0.05). The result demonstrated the usefulness of alpha band SSVEP for post stroke hand function rehabilitation.
