Suitable training for 卒中 患者 with 手 功能障碍 in super-early stage

In the early 康复 process, besides attention to posture, passive training can be involved to prevent unused muscles from atrophying. With the help of an external force, the 患者’s affected 手 should be gently moved, sending the signals of movement to the brain from muscles and skin, activating the 运动 nerves of the brain.

Combined with soft robotic 外骨格 technology and neuroscience, 司羿® soft robotic 手部康复 glove including passive training mode can drive the affected 手 to execute flexion and extension exercises, helping 患者 relearn and recover 手 运动 functions. With its easy-to-use, flexibility & accessibility, 司羿® robotic 手 glove has become many 患者’ home 康复 choice. Integrated active and passive training, soft robotic glove can help 患者 accelerate 恢复 and 恢复 self-reliance ability.
