Panasonic will return the hand movements of stroke patients, deciphering brain waves Bashny.Net

Panasonic has successfully completed clinical trials of the new device, which will allow stroke patients, again move his hands, paralyzed due to illness. This is a fundamentally new device, which in contrast to the modern devices not only helps to move the paralyzed limb, but "cure" the problem. Exit device can already in 2018.





Устройство is connected to the brain and allows us to identify brain waves responsible for this or that movement, and the principle of operation is based on the restoration of this opportunity. In the process of rehabilitation of patients show moving images, causing certain impulses that are responsible for movement, after which the device helps to move your hands and fingers, giving the patient the illusion that he's doing it on their own.

Systematic repetition of the process in the future allow patients to move limbs independently, and although it is in the release of arms, experts believe that such a device can operate in the lower extremities.

A device whose name is not pronounced, together with the University of Keio and where were the first clinical trials. As a result of these tests, 70% of patients, and 40 people have successfully completed the rehabilitation and restored in whole or in part the motion of the upper extremities.

Currently, the company collects all the necessary licenses to launch the product, in particular such devices are equipped with rehabilitation centers for people with stroke to expand the "Park Robotics" of such institutions under government programs.

Curiously, Panasonic, who plays aggressively on the market of digital health, or at least not mentioned alongside Google, LG, Apple, Fitbit, Sony, suddenly made a similar statement. On the other hand, the history this has not yet called the device may be associated with пресс-релизом nine years ago . 9 years ago! Then we say that the company has created a robotic suit REALIVE for patients who have suffered a stroke.



REALIVE equipped with sensors and "rubber muscles", which were set in motion with his good hand. When the patient is not moved paralyzed limbs, sensors detect motion and play it on artificial muscles sore hand. Such robotic suit, then reported, helps stimulate the nerves responsible for movement, and significantly accelerate the process of rehabilitation.
