Brachial plexus injury rehabilitation

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that connects your spinal cord to your shoulder, arm, and hand. A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched, compressed, ripped apart, or torn away from the spinal cord in the most severe cases.

Maintaining mobility of the affected areas through a passive and active range of motion is part of the treatment for this type of injury. Regaining and promoting strength through active exercise is also part of it. This should imply that the recovery process necessitates extensive and consistent rehabilitation activities.

In this regard, a variety of rehabilitation devices are used. The SIFREHAB-1.0 Portable Rehabilitation Robotic Gloves are among the most effective and widely used devices.

The Portable Robotic Rehabilitation Gloves: SIFREHAB-1.0 enables patients who are unable to attend hospital-based physical therapy sessions to perform their own rehabilitative training safely and independently.

The device is intended to assist patients in regaining their hand functions through exercise and then regaining their ability to care for themselves in daily life.

A simultaneous movement of both hands with the SIFREHAB-1.0 activates mirror neurons, which replicate the normal hand nerve pathways to the affected hand. This eventually promotes brain autonomic recovery and, as a result, the gradual recovery of the brachial plexus.

The brachial plexus will be stimulated by this device to re-ignite the network of nerves in the shoulder, allowing it to carry movement and sensor signals from the spinal cord to the arms and hands. As a result, the hand will gradually regain movement.

Because the SIFREHAB-1.0 is specifically designed to treat tendon and/or ligament tears, as well as other tendon injuries such as brachial plexus injuries, it performs a number of functions. It is used in mirror therapy and activities of daily living (ADL) training.

Brachial plexus injury is a relatively uncommon condition. It is more prevalent in adolescents and young adults. The issue is that the pain can range from mild to severe, and from temporary to chronic. As a result, such an injury necessitates extensive rehabilitation training. The SIFREHAB-1.0 is intended to perform that function.
