To ensure RehabSwift program is a good fit for each stroke survivor’s unique conditions, you will measure their level of physical, cognitive, and sensory capabilities using a statdard battery of tests that RehabSwift delivers to you.
As part of the screening session you will perform a non-invasive screening of the client’s brainwave activity while relaxed and during intention to move their stroke-affected hand.
You will conduct screening by fitting an EEG cap on stroke survivors, which typically takes 1-2 hours. This data is then used to calibrate RehabSwift software program for the individual, which allows for personalised training sessions.
Round One of the Neuro-Feedback training sessions is conducted over four weeks. Each week the client will attend up to five sessions consisting of one and a half hours.
Round Two will be completed over another four weeks
During each training session, the client will undergo an EMG test and also complete five runs of the EEG training program, taking up to 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 clinicians adjust the program for fostering new motor functions and continuing in a way that’s best for clients
After adjustments following the second assessment, the clients 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.
RehabSwift program is charged per hour.
Each client will complete 39 sessions including three (the initial, midway and a final) assessment sessions and 36 training sessions.
Each training session takes 1.5 hours and the total hours for the program can reach up to 60 hours.
