No More Worries about Finger and Wrist Rehabilitation!

Are you still troubled by stiff fingers and limited wrist movement? For people whose fingers are stiff and wrist movement is limited due to trauma, lack of exercise, etc., rehabilitation training is often the key to restoring hand function.

Today, I'd like to recommend the Pneumatic Hand Rehabilitation Device from Sunnyou Medical, a "rehabilitation assistant" designed specifically for patients with finger and wrist joint dysfunction, making scientific training simpler.

I. Core Working Principle

Its core working principle is to regulate air pressure to facilitate natural movement of the finger and wrist joints. By stimulating the finger and wrist joints, it promotes the healthy circulation of synovial fluid, reducing joint swelling and preventing or treating reduced joint range of motion, joint stiffness, and venous thrombosis caused or potentially caused by trauma or lack of exercise.

II. Functional Design

In terms of functional design, the pneumatic hand rehabilitation device embodies a "human-centered" approach. Operationally, it features a ≥10.1-inch LCD touchscreen with clear voice prompts, allowing patients to easily understand real-time training modes. Even those unfamiliar with electronic devices can quickly get started. 

Regarding training flexibility, it supports individual flexion and extension of all five fingers, enabling diverse rehabilitation movements to meet the training needs of different patients. 

Furthermore, it includes assessment functions for grip strength measurement and finger-opposition testing, generating detailed reports that allow patients and medical staff to clearly monitor rehabilitation progress.

III. Multiple Protections

The flexible gloves are pneumatically operated, preventing injury to patients caused by improper training intensity. 

They also feature a handheld controller, allowing for easy switching of movements during passive training. 

Dual protection functions, including overpressure protection and a spasticity prevention mode, prevent spasticity induced by excessively rapid flexion and extension, ensuring a safer training process.

IV. Diverse Training Modes 

The training methods are diverse, encompassing nine modes: passive, mirror, resistance, finger exercises, assisted, active, voice-based, pinching, and rapid. The mode can be flexibly selected based on whether the hand is left or right. 

The "pneumatic-electric combined" technique is particularly noteworthy—combining pneumatic therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation to achieve integrated wrist and hand treatment, promoting the recovery of hand opening and finger separation functions. 

The electrical stimulation parameters are also flexibly adjustable, with pulse widths increasing cyclically from 60μs to 200μs and intensity levels in increments of 0-99, catering to different patient tolerance levels.

V. Battery Life and Data Management 

The device has a built-in rechargeable battery providing at least 4 hours of continuous use, allowing patients to train anytime. The electrical stimulation module connects to the main unit via Bluetooth, offering greater flexibility. Its silent operation design minimizes noise levels to no more than 60 dB(A), ensuring minimal disruption to daily life.

The multi-user management system allows for the creation of electronic records; training records can be stored, exported, and even printed, facilitating long-term tracking of rehabilitation progress.

VI. Configuration List

Judging from the configuration list, this rehabilitation device can be described as a "one-stop shop" – the main unit, 3 electrical stimulation modules, charging case, power adapter, handheld controller, grip ball, left and right hand data gloves and flexible gloves (including different sizes), smart control box bag, electrode pads, electrode wires, etc. are all included, and rehabilitation training can be started right out of the box without the need to purchase additional accessories.

VII. Product Advantages & Features

Painless Training

The flexible pneumatic design avoids the secondary damage that traditional equipment may cause to the affected limb.

Multi-mode Switching

It can be switched among various modes, from “passive traction” to “active resistance,” to accommodate the capabilities and needs of patients at different stages of rehabilitation.

Combined Gas and Electricity

Soft gloves assist the patient's fingers to extend and flex through pneumatic actuation; wireless neuromuscular electrical stimulation, comfortable and convenient.

FAQ

Who needs this device?

1. Patients with hand dysfunction due to brain injury:

* Stroke: Patients with hemiplegia, finger spasms, and hand dysfunction caused by cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, etc., typically exhibiting abnormal muscle tone and hand flexion patterns.

* Traumatic brain injury: Loss of hand function due to peripheral or central nerve damage caused by cerebral contusion, laceration, intracranial hematoma, etc.

2. Patients with neurological diseases:

* Parkinson's syndrome: Patients with hand stiffness and limited movement.

* Post-brain tumor surgery: Patients requiring rehabilitation of hand motor function.

3. Patients with peripheral nerve injuries to the hand and upper limbs:

* Post-hand trauma surgery: Patients who need passive/active movement to improve finger joint mobility after tendon rupture repair surgery or early post-hand fracture surgery.

* Nerve injury: Patients with loss of hand flexion and extension function, such as wrist drop, ape hand, or claw hand, due to damage to the radial, median, or ulnar nerves.

4. Individuals requiring muscle strength and endurance rehabilitation: This device offers multi-level resistance (e.g., 10 levels) suitable for patients needing muscle strength training, providing targeted training through the fingertip resistance function of the glove.

For individuals with limited hand function and spasticity (the device can relieve spasticity and promote hand movement).

5. Elderly individuals with limited daily living abilities: Individuals whose hand grip strength and finger dexterity decrease due to aging, affecting normal functional activities (used to assist in the recovery of daily living functions).

What are the application models of this technology?

Mirror Glove Therapy: The unaffected hand wears a data glove, and the affected hand wears a pneumatic glove. Through mirror operation, the movement of the unaffected hand drives the affected hand to perform the same movements synchronously, thereby enhancing neural remodeling.

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI): Advanced devices can capture brain signals to assist patients with traumatic brain injury and other conditions in performing specific hand movements.

VII. Precautions

It is important to note that the following individuals are not suitable for using this device:

Patients with untreated or uncontrolled persistent inflammation;

Patients with unstable fractures of the fingers or wrists requiring immobilization;

Patients with large areas of pustules, burns, or bleeding on the hands;

Patients with untreated infections and skin lesions;

Patients with severe spasms, excessive muscle tone, or severe joint deformities that prevent them from grasping.

If you or someone you know is suffering from finger and wrist dysfunction, the pneumatic hand  rehabilitation device (XY-K-SGN-V) can be a helpful assistant on your road to recovery, helping you gradually regain dexterity in your hands and restore your confidence and convenience in life!
