PROGRAM
Program Layout
At our stroke rehab clinic, we offer a brain-computer interface training program for recovery of hand movement after stroke. The program is designed to be completed in 39 sessions over a period of 8 weeks. To ensure that the program is a good fit for your hand recvery goals, we offer stroke survivors an initial phone call durinmg which we check the suitability of our advanced stroke recovery solution for you. After that, the first session will involve a thorough assessment of your conditions after stroke.
Once we’ve determined that our hand rehabilitation program is a good fit, you’ll participate in 18 training sessions that are part of a 4-week intensive program. After these sessions, we’ll assess your progress and work with you to develop a plan for the remaining sessions.
The remaining sessions will be completed in another 4-week program. Our goal is to create a customized rehabilitation program that meets your stroke recovery needs and helps you achieve your recovery goals.
To ensure our stroke rehabilitation solution is a good fit for each stroke survivor’s unique conditions, we first measure their level of physical, cognitive, and sensory capabilities. In addition, we perform a non-invasive screening of the client’s brainwave activity while relaxed and during intention to move the stroke-affected hand.
We conduct screening by fitting an EEG cap on stroke survivors, which typically takes 1-2 hours. These data is then used to calibrate our software program for the individual, which allows for personalised training sessions.
During each training session, you will undergo an EMG test and also complete five runs of our EEG training program, taking a total of 1-1.5 hours.
The EMG test is a non-invasive reflex test of the extensor muscles on the forearm, using adhesive electrodes and the RehabSwift robotic hands. This allows our software to track ongoing improvements and adjust the training sessions accordingly.
Meanwhile, EEG training sessions involve non-invasive brain activity monitoring using an EEG cap. By using their thoughts and intention to move, clients can control the movement of the robotic hand enmeshed with their fingers, strengthening the neural pathways for sensory-motor function through completion of the neuro-feedback loop.
After four weeks of training, a second assessment session is conducted to evaluate changes that have occurred throughout the program. This assessment is similar to the initial screening and helps our staff make adjustments for fostering new motor functions and continuing our services in a way that’s best for you.
Following the adjustments after the second assessment, you will complete the remaining training sessions in another four-week round of intensive training.
At the end of the program, a final assessment is conducted to measure the recovery gains.
Program Funding
Our program is charged per hour with our neuro-feedback training experts.
Each client will complete 39 sessions including three (the initial, midway and a final) assessment sessions and 36 training sessions.
Each session ranging between 1 – 1.5 hours, depending on the client level of disability. Therefore, the total hours for the program can reach up to 60 hours.
Our services may be fully or partially subsidised through NDIS and Aged Care programs.
Our services can be claimed through NDIS for clients who are plan-managed or self-managed. But, Agency-managed clients cannot be reimbursed for our program.
We will supply appropriate reports for fund allocation approval, as well as an NDIS appropriate service agreement for the duration of our program. Our team will liaise with the client’s NDIS support coordinators as required.
For clients assessed and approved within the Aged Care scheme, our services can be redeemed using their fund allocations. We will provide an Aged Care appropriate service agreement for the duration of our services and can liaise with client’s Aged Care support coordinators as required.
