  • Hey, I have to watch this for my class. Wish me luck on my final tomorrow.

  • @waynealarsen my mum was helped by the Pablo hand/arm rehabilitation device and the Amadeo hand rehabilitaion device by tyromotion...

  • my Dad was in one of the 1st of these studies in North Carolina. he is wondering about the Bioness 200. he is 11 years into his stroke and his hand seems to be very tight. we really wonder if this unit would do him any good

  • Left-handed and had a stoke affecting the left hand, how unfortunate. Luckily these treatments work.

  • @inthebehljahr That's what you get when you target the average rather than the exceptional with funding.

  • The objective is not to strengthen the weaker arm, but instead to have the patient use the arm more often spontaneously in the real-life setting. This is not the objective of most standard stroke rehabilitation programs, which try as quickly as possible to teach self-reliance, mainly with the stronger arm. The weaker arm thus often gets neglected.

  • really? this is the first time doctors have realized that if you constrain the good arm the weak one will get stronger? really??? *sigh*
