New Approach in Rehabilitation for Stroke Victims at Home, Smart Pegboard

The Neofect Smart Pegboard offers a new approach to rehabilitation for stroke
victims at home – games. The Smart Pegboard has three interchangeable boards;
standard board, mixed shape board, and pinch board along with the corresponding
pegs that are appropriate for hand training games for patients aged between 3
and 100.

Patients start by choosing a board that best fits their needs. Users are
prompted through a number of different hand training games that vary from easy
to complex games and movements that work on increasing speed and motor skills
challenges.

The Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard] also allows you
to various options for setup, results, language, volume and whether you are
working your right or left hand.

Lecturer: The Neofect Smart Pegboard uses a gamified approach to hand training.
Through lights and sound, patients are prompted to participate in a variety of
hand training games, from very simple to complex activities, working on
increasing speed and including visual motor challenges.

The Smart Pegboard and related activities are appropriate for patients from ages
3 to 103.

The Smart Pegboard system is made up of three interchangeable boards, including
the standard board, mixed shape board, and pinch board along with the
corresponding pegs.

To get started, choose the board you'd like to use, depending on the needs of
the patient. You can reference the activities and components of each training in
the Smart Pegboard quick start guide that you'll receive with your board.

Let's start by using the standard board. The board can be set for right- or
left-handed use based on need. Plug in the pegboard to get started. Make sure
that you have a way to capture patient data, because once unplugged, patient
outcome information will no longer be available.

You can choose from additional setup options including creating a patient's
session, reviewing results, choosing the patient language, and adjusting volume
to customize your training.

Now that you're all set up, you're ready to start training with the Neofect
Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard].

Neofect’s Smart Pegboard is New Approach in Rehabilitation for Stroke Victims at Home

The brain may be small but it is the most important organ in human body. Let's see how to prevent various brain injuries.

All about Brain: Structure, Common Diseases, and Injury Prevention

Although we are not yet able to cure all illnesses, the continued development of
cutting-edge medicine is believed to be capable of treating many of the diseases
previously considered untreatable. In keeping with this trend, the average
lifespan of humankind is also increasing.

However, the brain continues to remain the most unknown area of the human body.
Recent studies have revealed many things about the human brain, such as
completing a 'standard brain map' that predicts the risk of stroke, but there is
still a long way to go in order to be able to say that we conquered the brain.



Genius Brain
How is the brain of a so-called genius different from the brain of an ordinary
person? We know that the scientist, Albert Einstein died of a ruptured abdominal
aortic aneurysm in 1955. Dr Thomas Harvey of Princeton University Hospital
studied Einstein's brain for 20 years. Many people thought that Einstein's brain
would be different, but despite 20 years of research, there was no big
difference found between his brain and the brain of an ordinary person.



Despite Small Size, the Brain Is a Big Deal
Although the brain only weighs on average about 2% of one's body weight, it
plays a huge role in our body. The brain consists of over 100 billion nerve
cells (Neurons) which are responsible for sending information throughout the
body coordinating all the necessary functions of life.

The brain is divided into the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. The left
side of the brain is responsible for controlling the right side of your body and
the right side of the brain is responsible for controlling the left side of the
body. The left side of the brain controls tasks that have to do with logic such
as science and math where the right side of the brain controls tasks that have
to do with creativity such as art.

The frontal lobe
[https://www.neofect.com/us/blog/brain-anatomy-101-major-structures-and-functions] 
plays the most important role in the brain, including motor function, language,
thinking and emotional control. The temporal lobe is responsible for memory,
knowledge, and auditory function. The occipital lobe plays a role in recognizing
the visual information of our eyes. And the parietal lobe is responsible for
tasks related to space recognition or mathematical calculations.

Brain Diagnoses and Dysfunction
Some of the most common syndromes that affect the brain are Stroke, dementia,
Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Parkinson's Disease, and Brain tumors
(Brain Cancer). These diagnoses can all disrupt routine cognitive functions and
decrease independence in daily task performance. However, these diagnoses do not
necessarily indicate unmitigated cognitive decline. Prompt cognitive
rehabilitation can often slow or prevent decline in executive functioning
skills.



Good Habits are Most Important To Promote Brain Health
In terms of mental habits, engaging in cognitively-stimulating exercise, such as
following directions to accomplish a task, solving world puzzles and picture
searches, or memorizing and recalling information is often recommended for older
adults in order to prevent or slow dementia.

One of Neofect Rehab Solutions provides comprehensive cognitive exercises that
you can do anywhere at any time. Neofect Cognition
[https://www.neofect.com/en/cognition/] consists of activities that focus on key
domains of executive functioning including attention, memory, problem-solving,
and visuospatial skills. Neofect Cognition can be used as a home exercise tool
or easily incorporated into an occupational therapy or speech therapy treatment
session to promote positive executive functioning outcomes.

As for physical habits, it is also essential to manage lifestyle-related risk
factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol to reduce
one's risk of developing brain dysfunction. These factors can be controlled
through a healthy diet and regular exercise. If you smoke, you should try to
stop smoking as smoking increases the risk of brain diseases.

Ultimately, maintaining good lifestyle habits including engaging in cognitive
exercise, eating healthy, and engaging in physical activity is a good way to
ensure your brain stays as capable as possible!

All About the Brain: Brain Structure, Common Diagnoses, and Maintaining Brain Health

Meet this promising cognitive traing software.  Comcog uses computer assisted cognitive rehab along with NEOFECT’s learning algorithm to guide a user through cognitive training based on their skills.

Neofect ComCog: Cognitive Training Tool

Neofect Cognition for Cognitive Training
Cognition [https://www.neofect.com/us/cognition] is a brain re-training software
that focuses on attention and cognition.

Cognitive training is essential for successful community living and independence
in everyday life. This software has been shown to improve working memory for
users with Alzheimer’s dementia. Neofect Cognition has also helped patients with
brain injuries increase their attention span. This March, as we acknowledge
Brain Injury Awareness month, we’d like to introduce this new cognitive training
software, Neofect Cognition.




Cognition as a cognitive training program has existed for a number of years in
Asia but has only recently come to the US under the US rehabilitation technology
brand, Neofect, the makers of the Smart Glove and other Smart Rehabilitation
products.




Cognition uses computer assisted cognitive rehab along with Neofect’s learning
algorithm to guide a user through cognitive training based on their skills.
Cognitive skills refer to the intellectual activities that encompass memory,
reasoning, attention and visuospatial skills. Damage to cognitive function can
cause difficulties in ones’ daily life.

Promoting brain neuroplasticity
[https://www.neofect.com/us/blog/tips-for-unlocking-neuroplasticity-after-stroke-part-1] 
is a key element to the cognitive rehabilitation process after a brain injury.
Neuroplasticity is a concept that states that the brain will essentially rewire
itself to compensate for the area of injury or damage. Cognitive rehabilitation
focuses on the importance of retraining the brain.



After utilizing the Cognition software for a 4-week training period, patients
with traumatic brain injury were shown to improve their attention to more
closely resemble that of their healthy counterparts. This may be due to the
concept of neuroplasticity, which postulates that the brain can rewire itself to
work even when parts of it are injured.



In Alzheimer’s dementia patients, a 4-week cognitive training program using
Cognition was shown to significantly increase memory capabilities. Patients were
able to better remember words and objects that had been presented to them
previously and scored higher on tests of orientation and recall.
