Especially when the patient lie in bed, a comfortable and safe position is more important; lying on unaffected side is recommended, reduce lying on back. Here’s the guidelines for السكتة الدماغية survivors and families from السكتة الدماغية Foundation New Zealand to learn the safe and comfortable postures while sleeping and sitting.

Suitable training for السكتة الدماغية patients with hand dysfunction in super-early stage

In the early إعادة التأهيل process, besides attention to posture, التدريب السلبي can be involved to prevent unused muscles from atrophying. With the help of an external force, the patient’s affected hands should be gently moved, sending the signals of movement to the brain from muscles and skin, activating the motor nerves of the brain.

Combined with soft robotic الهيكل الخارجي technology and neuroscience, SYREBO® soft robotic قفاز إعادة تأهيل اليد including التدريب السلبي mode can drive the affected hand to execute flexion and extension exercises, helping patients relearn and recover hand motor functions. With its easy-to-use, flexibility & accessibility, SYREBO® robotic hand glove has become many patients’ home إعادة التأهيل choice. Integrated active and التدريب السلبي, soft robotic glove can help patients accelerate recovery and restore self-reliance ability.
