Description of Stroke Rehabilitation Technology
1. Biofeedback therapy (EMG function)
Principle: Biofeedback therapy uses electromyography (EMG) technology. The electromyography module collects the electrical signals generated by muscle activity through electrode patches, and converts these signals into digital signals to control the system and/or obtain visual or auditory feedback through the system, so that patients can get corresponding feedback through their own real-time limb muscle activity status.
Application: Stroke patients often suffer from decreased muscle control on the affected side due to nerve damage. Through the EMG biofeedback system, patients can learn through feedback to reestablish and strengthen the motor function of the affected muscles and improve muscle coordination.
Advantages: It provides instant feedback and helps patients reestablish and strengthen the motor function of the affected muscles through neuroplasticity, thus promoting the recovery of the affected limb function.
Applicable people: Suitable for patients with mild to moderate motor impairment, especially those who need to restore the motor function and muscle coordination of the affected limb.
2. Neuromuscular and muscle electrical stimulation (NMES)
Principle: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) The neuromuscular electrical stimulation module applies low-frequency current to the target muscle through electrodes to stimulate muscle contraction and simulate the body's own nerve signals.
Benefits: Used in stroke patients to help maintain or increase muscle mass and promote motor function of the affected muscles. At the same time, NMES can also be used to increase joint mobility and improve contractures.
Application: Activate target muscles. Suitable for patients who cannot control muscles voluntarily, patients with muscle weakness, patients with high muscle tension, and patients who need to strengthen the motor function of the affected side muscles.
Applicable subjects: Suitable for patients with varying degrees of motor impairment, and can be used in the early rehabilitation stage (such as patients with severe muscle weakness or complete paralysis).

3. Mechanically assisted external force (soft robot-pneumatic muscle)
Principle: Use pneumatic drive technology or soft robot system to provide external auxiliary force to assist patients in completing limb movements and enable the affected joint to reach the corresponding joint range of motion. These devices usually combine sensors and control systems (such as EMG, EEG, etc.) to control limb movements based on the patient's voluntary motor awareness. Application: Used for patients with impaired limb motor function after stroke to help them perform high-intensity, high-repetition limb training, such as walking training or upper limb joint activities. Advantages: It provides precise auxiliary force, can carry out high-intensity, repetitive training, and through neuroplasticity, helps patients to re-establish and strengthen the motor function of the affected muscles and promote the recovery of the affected limb function. Applicable subjects: Suitable for patients with varying degrees of motor impairment, and can be used in the early rehabilitation stage (such as patients with severe muscle weakness or complete paralysis).

Summary
These technologies each have their own unique advantages and scope of application:
EMG biofeedback: emphasizes voluntary movement awareness and active participation of the affected side muscles, suitable for patients with mild to moderate functional impairment.
NMES: activates target muscles and is suitable for patients who cannot control their muscles voluntarily, patients with muscle weakness, patients with high muscle tension, and patients who need to strengthen the motor function of the affected side muscles.
Mechanically assisted external force: It provides precise auxiliary force and can carry out high-intensity, repetitive training. Through neuroplasticity, it helps patients to re-establish and strengthen the motor function of the affected muscles and promote the recovery of the affected limb function.
It is suitable for patients with varying degrees of motor impairment and can be used in the early stages of rehabilitation (such as patients with severe muscle weakness or complete paralysis).
Depending on the patient's specific situation, these techniques can be used alone or in combination to achieve the best rehabilitation effect. See our product for more information:
