Deans' stroke musings: EksoGT exoskeleton

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.

They lazily don't bother to tell you what the efficacy and results are from using this. HOPE is not a valid response you lazy bastards.

Doctors Hospital at Renaissance Health System (DHR) is proud to announce that the Rehabilitation Hospital at Renaissance now offers enhanced rehabilitation services for their patients through the use of Ekso Bionics’ patented technology. Ekso Bionics is a leading robotic exoskeleton company and Ekso GT™ is the first exoskeleton cleared by the FDA for use with stroke and spinal cord injury levels to C7.

You can learn about this new technology with a presentation to take place at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance on Wednesday, September 27. The community is invited to this event that starts at 10:00 a.m.

DHR is a cutting edge medical facility and an early adopter of advanced therapies. At the Rehabilitation Hospital at Renaissance, patients who were previously unable to walk due paralysis of the lower limbs due to stroke or spinal cord injury can now do so with the help of the EksoGT exoskeleton.

Through the use of EksoGT exoskeleton for gait therapy, the Rehabilitation Hospital at Renaissance is offering new hope for greater independence and a better quality of life for a broad range of people with paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury. With intuitive technology, the customizable suit gauges how much power the user is able to contribute and adapts to continuously deliver the appropriate level of support to complete every step. Users are able to take more steps or walk more naturally.

Doctors Hospital at Renaissance Health System, the Rehabilitation Hospital at Renaissance, and Ekso Bionics as they premier this life-changing wearable rehabilitation treatment device. Executives from Ekso Bionics, as well as patients and physicians, will be available for interview. To confirm your attendance, or for more information, call Kelli Quin, DHR Manager of Corporate Communications, at (956) 362-3100.
