syrebo Rehabilitation Robot Gloves, Functional Hand Stroke Recovery Equipment for Hand Dysfunction Patients, Stroke Hemiplegia Trainer

The good:The system is actually powerful enough to flex a 9-month immobile hand (left-side paralysis, no arm or hand control), which was surprising using just pneumatics. Simple operation, valve control to isolate / work on particular fingers, rechargeable base that allows for power-cord free operation.The middling:Air tubes require management between base unit and gloves. Air pump noise when operating is present - not harmful or excessively noisy, but there and constant. Only one pre-programmed 'exercise' that flexes full closed and then fully open; could benefit from ramp-up and down style exercises (e.g. partial open then back to neutral, then mid open, then mostly open, then fully open and then same style for closing.)The bad:Could be my own inexperience in dealing with patient paralysis, but trying to get the therapy glove onto the non-responsive arm was difficult for me, and very frustrating for the patient. Without the patient being able to 'push back' / 'hold still' so I could seat the glove on the hand, the fabric didn't snug down over the fingers and as a result their fingers would continually escape the inner glove and no longer be subject to the flexing motion. Not really a fault of the device, but rendered the device unusable in my situation. Practice on flexible, non-responsive, movable proxy (gel hand? water filled rubber glove?) might help a first-time user be more proficient in applying the glove. Alternatively, makers could ensure marketing specifies the glove is designed for someone with control over the shoulder and elbow joint (i.e. those joints can be held still / made immobile when attempting to apply therapy glove.)

The media could not be loaded.  My wife had a massive stroke a approximately 2 months ago. This left her with complete paralysis in the left arm and partial in left leg. I bought this product to help out with her recovery. Today we met with her therapist and showed it to him. As soon as I pulled it out of the bag he knew what it was but had not seen one in action. After letting the machine run he was thoroughly impressed. Told us we could not over use it. In just two day and probably a total on 2 hours of use we have seen a vast improvement in the tone of her effect hand. I love that it has the internal battery so we can use it on the go. The mirror function is so cool, she loves it, and our therapist said this should vastly improve the recovery process. I wish this allowed her to move each finger individually but for the price I am completely happy. I will update this post as we go.

I got this robotic hand exerciser for my father who had suffered a stroke. Unfortunately, we were not able to try it because the severity of contracture in his hand was too great. The doctor did not comfortable allowing my father to use this device as he felt it might do more harm than good.Cannot recommend in my situation, but your situation may be different. Please consult with your doctor before using this product.

Okay, so my husband is using this 3 yrs post stroke. He has the ability to open and close his hand, but does not have full extension of his fingers. It can be difficult to put on with curved fingers, but doable. The air pump isn’t strong enough to fully force his fingers open, but with constant use, there is potential here.The sensor glove is really sensing the middle finger, not the whole hand. So, if the goal is to work his hand to make a fist, this is great. If the goal is extension, I’ll update in time to see if it helps. I know there’s a model that has game play setting, which is advertised with the QR code in the box, but is not in this model.Without full extension, it doesn’t really help picking things up, because you have to really open first. HOWEVER, the repetitive nature and trial and error of this device, are definitely improving his speed of his responses from brain to hand. With more speed in these motions, the more practice before fatigue. I think this glove can get to a 4 star with time and I’ll update in 3 months. If you have a more limp hand, this would be a 5.If you are between a Large and XL, go with XL. Expect the pinky to be a little large, I’m considering shortening it a bit.

These looks like well made robot gloves. I liked the idea and thought it may be useful some time in future. I am still doing experiments with it.
