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.

Smart glove improves post-stroke rehabilitation – ICT and Health

This would be impossible for spastic fingers to get on. By only measuring movement you are working with high functioning stroke survivors, leaving all the rest with nothing.

Accordingly, exercise programs for the limbs can be customized and developed. The glove contains a very advanced network of sensing threads and pressure sensors. “With this glove we can record the patient's hand and finger movements without the need for cameras. This way we can better analyze and improve patients' exercise programs,” says the stroke rehabilitation specialist and professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia (University of British Columbia), Janice Engineer.

Sensors in smart gloves

The sensors are woven into the glove with a comfortable, stretchy fabric that makes it easy to capture and transmit data wirelessly. Using machine learning models, the team developed a glove that can accurately determine the angle of all joints and the wrist when in use. Technology that can track the smallest stretching and compression movements can predict the movements with more than 99 percent accuracy. The article about the new smart glove was recently published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence published.

After removing the battery, the glove can be washed at low temperature. Production costs have taken the local market into account to keep costs as low as possible. The developers envision that the glove will also be introduced to the regular consumer market in the future. The team also envisions potential applications in, for example, virtual reality, augmented reality and robotics.

Other parties

In addition to the sensors in the smart gloves, the sensors also do a good job for other extremities such as the ankles. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic prosthetic ankle that can provide stability to people who have had their lower limbs amputated. The ankle uses electromagnetic sensors that are placed on the torso muscles.


Even when we are standing, our leg muscles make many complex and unconscious movements to maintain balance and stay upright. The new robotic prosthetic ankle helps greatly with this and ensures that people are able to maintain good balance.
