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.

Recovr Glove: Accessible Hand Exoskeleton for Stroke Rehabilitation and Everyday Aid

 

Which glove is your therapist already using on you? NONE? So, you don't have a functioning therapist either along with your non-functioning doctor? Ask for a comparison analysis so you can choose the best one for recovery. YOUR CHOICE! Not your doctors or your therapists!

Recovr Glove: Accessible Hand Exoskeleton for Stroke Rehabilitation and Everyday Aid

Abstract:

Each year, over 7 million stroke survivors experience upper limb dysfunction, often losing the ability to perform essential hand movements like finger extension and contraction for grasping. Exoskeletons offer a promising solution for rehabilitating gross hand function, providing controlled, repetitive movements and personalized exercises. However, existing models struggle with affordability, usability, and integration into daily life. This paper presents Recovr Glove, a cost-effective, user-friendly exoskeleton glove aimed at improving gross hand function recovery. Recovr features passive extension and active contraction mechanisms, adaptable to varying levels of spasticity. By capturing surface electromyography (sEMG) signals from the flexor digitorum profundus muscle, responsible for grasping, it enables cognitive control of hand movements. We evaluated the Recovr Glove across four parameters: grip strength, extension strength, contraction angle, and object grasping. In motor response testing, Recovr achieved 95% accuracy, with reliable rotation and an average delay of 0.49 seconds ±0.41. During contraction tests, the grasp strength was an average of 55.21± 5.68 N. Extension testing, using a spring scale on each finger, showed an adjustable average force range of 0.1 to 5.5 N for the pinky and from 0.7 to 7.7 N for the thumb, depending on rubber band tension.
