Presentation Title:

Effectiveness of the “ANIKA” rehabilitation glove in the acute period of ischemic stroke

Abstract

The development of upper limb paresis and cognitive dysfunction in stroke significantly affects the quality of life, the process of functional recovery and social adaptation of patients. Therefore, efforts to develop effective rehabilitation methods aimed at improving these functions are of great clinical importance. The desire to reduce the degree of disability of the population and increase the social adaptation of people after suffering from stroke leads to the introduction of various robotic/mechanized complexes into the rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation can be carried out using traditional methods, as well as new computer technologies and artificial intelligence. Virtual reality (VR) has demonstrated the potential to accelerate the recovery of the upper extremities, however, the question of developing optimal programs and protocols for patient management remains open. The rehabilitation glove meets these requirements and is a biofeedback simulator. The inclusion of robotic therapy in stroke rehabilitation plans is a useful addition to traditional treatment. It aims to increase the number and intensity of high-tech mechanotherapy, thereby enhancing brain plasticity through complex but controlled multisensory stimulation. Training with repetitive tasks is one of the key principles contributing to the restoration of motor activity of the paretic arm and cognitive dysfunction (the principle is: the more practice, the better the results). Another important promising advantage is the ability to customize the exercise program for patients by modulating various aspects of motor activity, such as strength, speed, intensity, duration and smoothness of gestures, resistance and range of motion.
