Having just had a stroke i think there is way too much for me to visualise there.... Even thinking about reaching out for the pen is tough. I think these should be broken down into shorter sequences
Hello I am planning to set-up this excercise for a cousin with cerebral palsy. She has a particular issue with coordinating the fingers on her right hand. What I mean is she can make a fist with her right hand and also open (extend) the fingers on her right hand but she cannot do more complicated things like using a fork or holding a pencil or even controlling the joystick on an electric wheelchair. So how can she modify or add to the hand extension/flexion excercise shown in this video to focus on coordinating separate fingers instead of the whole hand simply opening and closing?
@@syedshah1552 although the movement is a gross movement this can lead on to fine motor control by practicing tasks independently without the estim on . Your cousin will find these tasks easier to perform herself once her wrist and finger extension is improved
How long, on average, do each pair of electrodes last before I would have to buy a new pair. Can they last for at least 6 months if kept clean and hydrated?
@@syedshah1552 general advise is usually 2-3 weeks but you can certainly stretch this out if you keep them clean and hydrates and always clean the skin of any oil/cream/dirt first

Thank you for this information, i had surgery on my leg and now recovering i can motion down but not up. I have a foot stimulater but never used the attachment that you're using but now i see they are very beneficial to my recovering process! Thanks alot😊
If there is hair then yes, just where the electrodes are placed. This makes the electrodes stick better and last longer. Use a beard trimmer or nail scissors rather than a razor. A razor creates small micro abrasions which can make the stimulation uncomfortable
You still to cover any tattoos or scars - if the tattoos are not exactly identical your brain will distinguish left from right which you are trying to avoid
Hi, can I know why is that my Saebostim one gel pads tend will drop off? It doesn't really stick like how this Saebostim one is sticking on? Mind advising? Thank you!
The gel pads last about 10-12 uses on average. As they get old the gel will dry (as it does with all electrodes) and they loose their stickiness. Also make sure skin is clean and dry for better adherence ie no creams/moisturisers
@@SaeboUK yes I do know about this.. But still, even if I just changed to the new gel pads, it's not as secured as what I've seen on this video. So I was wondering if there's anything that I did wrong..😔
@@joannalim2761 as long as you are following the advice about clean and dry skin, changing the pads regularly there shouldn’t be any other reason for it to loosen. Feel free to email me directly at abean@saebo.com
It can a bit tricky to isolate just 3 fingers as anything under the electrodes will be stimulated . Try copying this placement but use a smaller (1.25 inch) electrode on the wrist. Or you can trim the edges of the electrode to make it a rectangle shape.
I would like to try this for my stroke arm wow and I have this glove already but have tried it on yet still working on to open fingers more so it will work better
It is dependent on the reason for paralysis. Eg If the nerve is completely severed then it would not work. As it is only 15 days post injury, our suggestion would be to seek medical advice as to whether electrical stimulation will work in your case
Everyone is different but a starting point is to aim every day and 30 mins . Some users may need to build up to this, some can manage more than 1 session a day
For wrist and finger extension as shown in this video you only use 1 lead and 2 electrodes as illustrated. Place the electrodes where shown on this video, connect them to one lead and then connect that lead to your device
There is no guarantee with any technology but it can certainly be a useful tool to give your foot some much needed stimulation. The SaeboStim Pro NMES device you use to deliver the stimulation can also be sued to stimulate muscle contractions too in this area , so a double option for you
"Erica Mena" is *still* doubling down (again)/deflecting & *still* trying to negate/nullify/down play, her *wilfully* spewed racial slur/verbiage, as the sole & exclusive *responsibility* of the shows cast/the producer(s)/the eventual "outrage/backlash" (& the sky being blue)....."she's *rightfully* reveiving"!!! vs...... The *one & only entity* she should put the accountability on; aka: from "the person *whose mouth* the word (racil slur) came out off & from the entity who's pathology it originated from"; *Erica Mena* 💯% REMEMBER: Not all skin folk (people w/our same lineage/& or same skintone) "is kin folk"; people 🤦 -THE END ⚠️
It’s EMS /NMES - “neuromuscular electrical stimulation”. TENS is for pain relief and you wouldn’t see a muscle contraction - “transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation “ . Often the terms get mixed and misused which can cause confusion.
It can be used on its own if someone has a subluxed shoulder. If there is voluntary activity then work with the stimulation , if there is no activity then it would be the device doing the muscle contraction. No harm in adding any other movement
There is no end date to the potential for recovery - our brains are adaptive and can learn as long as we keep providing it with input. The longer after an injury someone is other factors can make it harder such as muscle stiffness or contracture, spasticity, learned non use etc. but there is not an absolute end point.
