It won't work for me and others like me whose motor cortex controlling those muscles is dead. I need dead brain rehab and no one seems to be working on that. But good for those already high functioning individuals who can get better with this.
New rehab device helping stroke patients
The wearable technology is embedded with electrodes that detect muscle activation and stimulators that active patients' nerves.
This seems to be it:
Developed by Neubond, a spin-out from Imperial College London, the pilot phase of the trial involves people attending a stroke support group in Chiswick, west London. The researchers have been working with four stroke victims, each suffering from impaired motor function.
The prototype wearable tech is strapped around the forearm. It is embedded with electrodes that detect muscle activation and stimulators that activate the patient nerves—"a tingling and then a like deep massage" feeling, according to Vincent.
