Good Thursday morning, Everyone! I must first acknowledge, yet another, wonderful thing Kris has done for me! Since receiving my tailwind, it never occured to me to seek further hand/arm rehabilitation, until Kris mentioned some other tailwind users having success with therapies they used to do, I had not even considered that possibility. However, this idea has ignited a new interest in seeking additional stroke rehabilitation, that I had once dismissed! I already have a call into my doctor seeking a referral for more therapy. Perhaps the tailwind has done enough for me to regain some function and activity that I had tried in the past unsuccessfully. Will keep you posted on the progress. Sincerely, Shary
The Occupational/ Physical therapist has in his hand therapy repertoire several techniques to maintain and improve the patient’s finger and wrist movement ability. Neuromuscular stimulation is one technique. Additionally active intensive exercises and biofeedback also must be used. The MediTouch HandTutor provides customized games and biofeedback to motivate and challenge the patient to achieve maximal functional recovery working on intensive practice of finger and wrist movements.
Thanks for the blog. I really enjoyed reading it and I think you made some good points! Take care!
