A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a result of bleeding into the space around the brain (SAH). This type of hemorrhage can result in a stroke, which can cause disabilities, coma, and/or death.
A cerebral or intracranial aneurysm is an abnormal focal dilation of a cerebral artery caused by a weakening of the inner muscular layer (the intima) of a blood vessel wall. The vessel dilates in a “blister-like” manner.
A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to help reduce the risk of permanent brain damage.
Recovering from a brain aneurysm or a subarachnoid hemorrhage is a significant life event that lasts long after you leave the hospital.
Following a brain injury, patients frequently experience a slew of physical, emotional, and cognitive changes, ranging from minor setbacks to major challenges with long-term consequences.
Rehabilitation can have a significant impact on long-term recovery by assisting patients in learning new ways to compensate for abilities that may have been lost or harmed as a result of their brain injury. Physical, mental, and emotional therapies are all part of rehabilitation services, which assist the injured brain in making new connections.
In this article, we will focus on physical therapy (rehabilitation).
The debilitating effects of neurological damage on hand function that may result from Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and cerebral aneurysm surgery have prompted the development of rehabilitative robotic devices aimed at restoring hand function in these patients.
Metal is used in traditional robotics to provide a rigid framework to aid in motor function. It’s possible that the rigid structures of these devices are impeding robotics’ therapeutic potential by lowering their biomimetic qualities.
Soft robotics, on the other hand, maybe lighter and have simpler designs, making them more portable and opening up the possibility of at-home rehabilitation.
Our rehabilitation products, such as the SIFREHAB-1.2, place a premium on the integration of information technologies, data science, material science, and neuroscience.
Being such an advanced device, the SIFREHAB-1.2 provides mirror training, Manual Task-Oriented Training, Assistance training, Active games training, Multisensory stimulation, Resistance Training Rehabilitation (RTR) and accurate finger training.
All this should guarantee a complete rehabilitation treatment with very rewardful results. As such, the SIFREHAB-1.2 should be the very first alternative for SAH survivors and doctors as well.
