Find out 3 ways to recover fine motor skills after stroke.  Smart Pegboard helps stroke patients regain fine motor skills by providing repetitive exercises, fine motor control exercises, and repetitive task specific training.

3 Ways to Recover Fine Motor Skills after Stroke

Fine Motor Skills after Stroke
Stroke causes weakness and or paralysis in about 75% of stroke survivors(1).
This can cause difficulties with activities of daily living such as getting
dressed, eating and bathing. Having to depend on others to assist with
activities of daily living can get frustrating but with the correct
rehabilitation techniques, considerable progress can be made.

Research has shown that the three most important ways for stroke survivors to
recover fine motor skills is performing repetitive hand and arm exercises,
performing fine motor control exercises and performing repetitive task specific
training exercises.

3 Ways To Recover Hand Motion and Fine Motor Skills after Stroke

1. Repetitive exercises- A stroke causes damage to the brain which can cause one
side of the body to have weakness. However our brain has the ability to rewire
itself after an injury, this is called neuroplasticity. The principles behind
neuroplasticity states that in order for the brain to rewire itself it requires
repetitive exercises to be done in order to build new pathways.



2. Fine motor control exercises (AROM)-Stroke survivors tend to present with
fine motor control difficulties secondary to either an overabundance of muscle
mass or a lack of muscle mass. Research shows that in order to improve fine
motor skills, it is important to perform repetitive fine motor control exercises
and to utilize the affected hand as much as possible when performing daily
tasks.

3. Repetitive task specific training-Researchers have found that in order to
improve ones coordination of functional tasks that involves reach to grasp one
must perform repetitive tasks that forces them to involve grasp and transport
together with a specific emphasis on planning and executing the two components
together. (2)



The Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard] is a modern
version of a standard pegboard that you would typically see in a therapy clinic
or hospital. The Smart Pegboard lights up and interacts with you providing
auditory and visual feedback. The Smart Pegboard
[https://shop.neofect.com/collections/smart-rehab-solution/products/neofect-smart-pegboard] 
allows for a fun way to address all three of the above mentioned approaches. The
Smart Pegboard provides repetitive fine motor control activities which requires
the use of overall grasp and in hand manipulation. While performing these tasks
the client is being forced to involve grasp and transport together with a
specific emphasis on planning and executing these two components together to
complete each task. The client can choose from different size pegs or shapes to
further grade the activity.

CES Innovation Award Honoree second year in a row, NEOFECT has developed Pegboard for imporiving Fine Motor skill and Cognitive Rehabilitation for stroke.

Neofect Smart Pegboard, Fine Motor skill and Cognitive Rehabilitation for Stroke

CES Innovation Award Honoree second year in a row, a healthcare technology
startup Neofect [http://www.neofect.com/en/], has developed an addition to their
array of smart rehabilitation products.

Neofect Smart Pegboard: breakthrough rehab device for grasp and dexterity for
pateitns
Neofect Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard] is a
breakthrough device designed to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation
training for grasp and dexterity with a cognitive and visual component to engage
patients. By involving patients in a motivating rehabilitation experience,
providing real-time visual and auditory feedback, the product can capitalize on
neuroplasticity.



Neofect Smart Pegboard includes one Base Board, three Combining Boards, and five
Peg boxes. The Base Board is equipped with 63 high intensity LED lights, digital
display, and built-in speakers. By replacing combining boards, therapists can
design a personalized training plan and customize rehabilitation program based
on specific needs of each patient.



Neofect Smart Pegboard employs gamification
[https://www.neofect.com/us/blog/the-latest-way-of-stroke-rehab-serious-games] 
to keep patients motivated by creating a positive, interactive environment. By
playing the training games, patients can make progress in their rehabilitation
program. They also receive a visual and auditory feedback which helps them see
the results of the therapy in a real time.



The games employ two forms of exercises - functional and cognitive. Examples of
the games include: making shapes, remembering the order, or catching a snake.
The results are scored for an overall time, an average response time, the number
of pegs in right places, and success rate.

Ho Young Ban, a founder and CEO of Neofect, said: “We’re excited and proud to
add the Neofect Smart Pegboard to our list of technological innovations. We
believe that by using game-based training, healthcare providers can help their
patients stay positive about their recovery which will lead to better
rehabilitation experience and more people getting back their health.”

The Neofect Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard], as well
as other technological innovations, empowers patients to become active
participants in their recovery program by setting specific, achievable goals
while providing valuable information to their caregivers. The data helps
physicians to amplify the efficiency of rehabilitation processes. Now you can
buy or rent to own this innovative digital rehabilitation devices.
