When an area of the brain is damaged from a stroke, the loss of normal function 
of part of the body may occur. This may result in a disability. The hand is among
the most commonly vulnerable organ to strokes.

When a stroke occurs, the hands may experience increased tone or stiffness due to
disrupted connections between the brain and the hand muscles, this is called spasticity.
Without this strong neural connection, it may become more difficult to fully straighten
the fingers or grasp an item.

Facing such a problem, rehabilitation can substantially help a stroke survivor achieve
the best long-term outcome. Rehabilitation helps someone who has had a stroke relearn
skills that are suddenly lost when part of the brain is damaged.

Equally important in rehabilitation is to protect the individual from developing
new medical problems, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, injury due 
to fall, or a clot formation in large veins.

### To avoid such complications and ensure a fast recovery process, a supportive medicinal device like the Robotic Rehabilitation Gloves: 󠀁[SIFREHAB-1.1](https://sifsof.com/product/robotic-rehabilitation-gloves-sifrehab-1-1/)󠁿 may be exactly what is needed.

### The SIFREHAB-1.1 is suitable for patients with hand dysfunction caused by stroke, stroke hemiplegia, and brain injury. It is an innovative product for hand function rehabilitation.

### It can promote finger flexion and extension, reduce muscle tension, promote blood circulation, relieve edema, and prevent muscle atrophy. At the same time, it can help users relearn through exercise from the three levels of nerves, brain, and muscles, and rebuild brain nerves to control the hands’ movement.

The [SIFREHAB-1.1](https://sifsof.com/product/robotic-rehabilitation-gloves-sifrehab-1-1/)
also performs different functions. It can provide Single finger training, Passive
Flexion and Extension Training, Task-Oriented Training, Mirror Therapy for hand 
function rehabilitation and even Hand airwave massage therapy.

Thus, being a multi-tasked device, stroke survivors can only ensure an effective
rehabilitation and a quick recovery process.
