Stroke Rehabilitation

Only 18 hours of therapy make a huge difference.

While complete recovery may not always be possible after a stroke, recoveriX neurorehabilitation can still help optimize function, enhance quality of life, and promote independence for individuals at any stage of their recovery journey. These positive effects can be explained by the activation of neuroplasticity during recoveriX treatment:

99.9% of patients improve spasticity
99% of patients improve gross motor functions
95% of patients improve fine motor skills
99.9% of patients improve mental performance
95% of patients improve concentration
0% side effects

The Stages of Stroke Recovery

Acute Stage

Rehabilitation is crucial in the first months and determines the success of the recovery process. Patients benefit from more than one form of therapy, which is why recoveriX should be integrated in this phase.

Sub-acute Stage

recoveriX can be used at inpatient care or outpatient rehabilitation facilities and perfectly supplements physical or occupational therapy. Rehabilitation goals can be holding a glass, riding a bike to work or the reduction of feeling fatigue.

Chronic Stage

Our study has shown that with recoveriX therapy, patients can continue to get better 10, 20 or 30 years after a stroke. Recovery only stops when you stop exercising consistently.

Scientific Proof

Neuroplasticity is a well-established concept that is supported by extensive clinical evidence. The clinical studies of recoveriX neurorehabilitation has shown significant results in improving motor functions and reducing spasticity in stroke patients. And they are long lasting.

Optimize Upper & Lower Extremities

The hand therapy treats the left and right hand and arm functions. The treatment reduces spasticity and leads to better fine and gross motoric skills. The foot therapy treats the paretic foot and the hand and arm. The treatment reduces spasticity and leads to better fine and gross motoric skills in the leg and foot. Often the hand treatment helps to improve foot and leg functions and the foot treatment helps to improve upper limb functions as well.

Fine Motor Skills

18 hours of training that change your life. This is a patient with subacute stroke. Left side: Before recoveriX; Right side: After recoveriX.

recoveriX is measuring EEG activity while a patient imagines a hand or foot movements. Once recoveriX detects a motor imagination, it triggers a functional electrical stimulation of the limb so that the limb performes a real movement. Patients love that – especially if they were paralyzed for a few years. This procedure is repeated 6000 times and connects cognitive functions with motor behavior. Due to the amount of repetitions, neurons are forming new connections to relearn the movement. A recoveriX patient has to undergo 25 sessions, each lasting for about 45 minutes, ideally 2-3 times per week.

Gross Motor Skills

2 years post-stroke. Left: before recoveriX, right: after recoveriX therapy. Box and Block tests before therapy: 21 blocks; after therapy: 39 blocks. This shows nicely the improvement of fine and gross motoric skills that make a real difference.

Walk & Gait Pattern

Post-stroke, 4 years and 2 months. 18 hours of therapy. Left: before recoveriX therapy. Right: after recoveriX therapy.

Timed Up and Go Test: Before: 14; After recoveriX: 11 seconds.
10 Meter Walking Test: Before: 9; After recoveriX 6 seconds.
Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity: Before: 14 points; After recoveriX: 21 points. He has a wider range of motion in both ankle rotation and ankle flexion.

Prior to recoveriX therapy, he had to fixate the handrail with both hands. He may now ascend and descend stairs without clinging to the handrail. He can even carry two suitcases in each hand while climbing the stairs. After recoveriX treatment, his left hemisphere displays much greater activation over the sensorimotor cortex.

Complex Movements

18 hours of therapy can change your life. 4 years post-stroke. Left: before recoveriX therapy. Right: after recoveriX therapy. The video contains a lot of amazing improvements:

She is now so confident that she no longer needs her walking stick.
The posture of her entire body appears healthier.
She stands up and sits down more quickly.
She walks more quickly.
She looks healthy when she is sitting.
The tremor in her paretic hand has decreased.

She claimed that although she could only walk 300 meters before recoveriX treatment, she can now walk 1000 meters. She used a rollator prior to recoveriX, but now that she is so self-confident that she doesn’t even use a walking stick anymore. Oh, and her ability to focus also became better.

Walking Speed

Foot treatment results. 4 years post-stroke. Left: before recoveriX therapy. Right: after recoveriX therapy. In 25 sessions, Julia’s recoveriX accuracy was 96%. In order to properly determine improvements, g.tec performs a number of tests both before and after the therapy:

Spasticity decreased from 3 to 1.5 points
Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer improved from 43 to 54 points
Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer improved from 25 to 27 points
Timed Up and Go Test improved from 26 to 15.9 seconds
10-Meter Walk Test improved from 7.6 to 6.4 seconds
Barthel Index improved from 85 to 90 points

More significantly, the patient’s walking speed and endurance have both increased and she no longer requires a walking stick. The patient is doing substantially better.

Objective Measures

Patients adore tangible outcomes. Watch the performance improvement of a stroke patient treated with recoveriX lower limb therapy over the course of 25 sessions (4 years after the stroke). In 25 sessions, Julia’s recoveriX accuracy was 96%. In order to properly determine improvements, g.tec performs a number of tests both before and after the therapy: (1) Spasticity decreased from 3 to 1.5 points; (2) Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer improved from 43 to 54 points; (3) Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer improved from 25 to 27 points; (4) Timed Up and Go Test improved from 26 to 15.9 seconds; (5) 10-Meter Walk Test improved from 7.6 to 6.4 seconds; and (6) Barthel Index improved from 85 to 90 points.

Frontiers for Young Minds

How Can We Train The Brain To Help Stroke Patients?

Frontiers for Young Minds is an innovative scientific journal that aims to engange young people to explore the world of science with access to high-quality scientific information. Therefore, the recoveriX study has been submitted and peer-reviewed by children and young aduts. It is free to read and provides a deeper understanding or recoveriX neurorehabilitation.

Motor Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients

recoveriX was effective in promoting long lasting functional improvements in the upper extremity in stroke patients with severe, moderate and mild impairment. This functional improvement can be explained by improved neuroplasticity in the brain.
