A big setback in my career! After recuperating for a period of time, not only did the left arm have no strength, but the muscles of the left hand were lost, and the hand joints were stiff and inflexible, which directly seriously affected the return to normal life! So today, I went to the rehabilitation center to evaluate my physical ability, and I wanted to see if there was any way to relieve the current difficulties in an easy and simple way
After I went to the rehabilitation center, I saw a lot of super cool and easy-to-use equipment, and at first glance, I fell in love with this smart rehabilitation glove, mainly because the appearance is too domineering, full of science and technology, can adjust many different modes, and it is also very portable for auxiliary training, but the rehabilitation therapist said that this equipment is more suitable for patients with weak rehabilitation and control ability of stroke hemiplegia, not for me to use，so I think maybe this is helpful for others who really need this.
Hi @naughtie

Hi and welcome to this forum. We are a merry band of stroke survivors and carers and we are always here to offer help and advice if needed or just to listen whilst you have a rant or a moan.
That looks like an interesting piece of kit, what’s it called. I use a similar thing a Saebo glove. I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke 6 years ago which paralysed my left side and I’m working hard to get some movement back in my hand and arm. Always keen to look at equipment or therapies that might help. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards Sue

Thank you, Sue, for being really sweet. This is a pneumatic hand function rehabilitation robot glove, I found that it is a syrebo product in China, as far as I know, there are many imitation products of this kind of rehabilitation gloves, probably the saebo glove you said should also be a similar product. My therapist said that the gloves I used in the post have effects such as stimulating the recovery of hand muscles and helping to re-establish nerve pathways, which may help you. 
Thank you, KGB! It’s so nice of you and the polar bear is soooo cute, really appreciate that
Thankyou Simon. For me that is a very useful summary.
Someone once said that Stroke is like searching around in the dark for bits of a jigsaw puzzle that you then need to assemble.
You’ve offered a few pieces there that look like they fit in with some that I have already found.
As you say, there is a long way to go, but all help is appreciated. It is this sort of mutual aid that can benefit many in this position.
Thriving, not just surviving.
Keep on keepin’ on
If it is of any interest, at this time I exercise the fingers of my affected hand as frequently as I can. I simply press with each digit separately in a continuous cycle.
This is a long way on from when there was no response in hand or arm, bu it is still very rudimentary.
I think sharing our experience can be cathartic and therapeutic but more important it can provide a light to others on this same path.
I have gained much from what others have written on this forum, it seems only right to give back as best as I am able.
Thriving, not just surviving, seems an excellent motto and aim.
This is all brilliant help, and yes, we all need it, whichever category you’re in. By the way, the disabled rail card is for you and whoever travels with you.
I’ve only communicated with you a couple of times, but already think you are so motivating. Maybe you aught to change your initials to KGBM (M for Motivator)
Sorry everyone
I have been instructed by Ranger James and Lauren to say that I cannot share many of these photos because literally no one outside of farm staff or Jimmy’s family can do this stuff until early next year maybe.
I was a test.
so please don’t advertise that! I have been told by Lauren!!! And she is cool as. and I I may say a little scary in a very good way!
Thanking you all.

Maybe I should split this into a new thread - if only I could
