Hand Rehabilitation following Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke

Middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke describes the sudden onset of focal neurologic deficit resulting from brain infarction or ischemia in the territory supplied by the MCA. The MCA is by far the largest cerebral artery and is the vessel most commonly affected by a cerebrovascular accident.

 MCA strokes are typically present among individuals who already experienced strokes. Its symptoms are unilateral weakness and/or numbness, facial droop, and speech deficits ranging from mild dysarthria and mild aphasia to global aphasia.

Recovery from an MCA stroke may take some time, particularly if the entire MCA was blocked, resulting in a large stroke. Long-term recovery and rehabilitation may take months or even years. However, a good recovery is possible with the presence of extensive and regular physical therapy (rehabilitation).

With such a disease, rehabilitation is often necessary to assist the brain to relearn skills that have been affected by the stroke.

The SIFREHAB-1.0 involves activities and therapy to help your brain adapt to the injury caused by the Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke.

This Portable Rehabilitation Robotic Gloves: SIFREHAB-1.0 is specifically designed to help patients who are not able to attend physical therapy sessions at the hospital to do their own rehabilitative training safely and independently. As such, they can achieve full recovery from stroke.

The device is used to promote full recovery from stroke, hand trauma, cerebral palsy, cerebral palsy, plastic surgery caused by stroke (cerebral ischemia, cerebral hemorrhage) hand dysfunction, brain injury. Accordingly, it perfectly suits MCA patients.

Among the various applications of the device, it exclusively provides Mirror therapy training and Activities of daily living (ADL) training. The latter includes everyday tasks such as dressing, self-feeding, bathing, laundry, and/or meal preparation.

In a nutshell, The SIFREHAB-1.0 will detect weak conscious hand activity then boost it to complete the intended hand movement and so fasten the recovery process.

A stroke (no matter was its type) is always a medical emergency. It can cause permanent brain damage if appropriate healthcare is not being promoted.

Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke is one of these strokes which require extensive physical therapy and excessive rehabilitation activities. The SIFREHAB-1.0 can be the most appropriate device for such a long-lasting recovery process.
