Rehabilitation for stroke victims at home using games. NEOFECT Smart Pegboard offers hand training games for patient rehab and recovery.

New Approach in Rehabilitation for Stroke Victims at Home, Smart Pegboard

The Neofect Smart Pegboard offers a new approach to rehabilitation for stroke
victims at home – games. The Smart Pegboard has three interchangeable boards;
standard board, mixed shape board, and pinch board along with the corresponding
pegs that are appropriate for hand training games for patients aged between 3
and 100.

Patients start by choosing a board that best fits their needs. Users are
prompted through a number of different hand training games that vary from easy
to complex games and movements that work on increasing speed and motor skills
challenges.

The Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard] also allows you
to various options for setup, results, language, volume and whether you are
working your right or left hand.

Lecturer: The Neofect Smart Pegboard uses a gamified approach to hand training.
Through lights and sound, patients are prompted to participate in a variety of
hand training games, from very simple to complex activities, working on
increasing speed and including visual motor challenges.

The Smart Pegboard and related activities are appropriate for patients from ages
3 to 103.

The Smart Pegboard system is made up of three interchangeable boards, including
the standard board, mixed shape board, and pinch board along with the
corresponding pegs.

To get started, choose the board you'd like to use, depending on the needs of
the patient. You can reference the activities and components of each training in
the Smart Pegboard quick start guide that you'll receive with your board.

Let's start by using the standard board. The board can be set for right- or
left-handed use based on need. Plug in the pegboard to get started. Make sure
that you have a way to capture patient data, because once unplugged, patient
outcome information will no longer be available.

You can choose from additional setup options including creating a patient's
session, reviewing results, choosing the patient language, and adjusting volume
to customize your training.

Now that you're all set up, you're ready to start training with the Neofect
Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard].

Neofect’s Smart Pegboard is New Approach in Rehabilitation for Stroke Victims at Home

Find out 3 ways to recover fine motor skills after stroke.  Smart Pegboard helps stroke patients regain fine motor skills by providing repetitive exercises, fine motor control exercises, and repetitive task specific training.

3 Ways to Recover Fine Motor Skills after Stroke

Fine Motor Skills after Stroke
Stroke causes weakness and or paralysis in about 75% of stroke survivors(1).
This can cause difficulties with activities of daily living such as getting
dressed, eating and bathing. Having to depend on others to assist with
activities of daily living can get frustrating but with the correct
rehabilitation techniques, considerable progress can be made.

Research has shown that the three most important ways for stroke survivors to
recover fine motor skills is performing repetitive hand and arm exercises,
performing fine motor control exercises and performing repetitive task specific
training exercises.

3 Ways To Recover Hand Motion and Fine Motor Skills after Stroke

1. Repetitive exercises- A stroke causes damage to the brain which can cause one
side of the body to have weakness. However our brain has the ability to rewire
itself after an injury, this is called neuroplasticity. The principles behind
neuroplasticity states that in order for the brain to rewire itself it requires
repetitive exercises to be done in order to build new pathways.



2. Fine motor control exercises (AROM)-Stroke survivors tend to present with
fine motor control difficulties secondary to either an overabundance of muscle
mass or a lack of muscle mass. Research shows that in order to improve fine
motor skills, it is important to perform repetitive fine motor control exercises
and to utilize the affected hand as much as possible when performing daily
tasks.

3. Repetitive task specific training-Researchers have found that in order to
improve ones coordination of functional tasks that involves reach to grasp one
must perform repetitive tasks that forces them to involve grasp and transport
together with a specific emphasis on planning and executing the two components
together. (2)



The Smart Pegboard [https://www.neofect.com/us/smart-pegboard] is a modern
version of a standard pegboard that you would typically see in a therapy clinic
or hospital. The Smart Pegboard lights up and interacts with you providing
auditory and visual feedback. The Smart Pegboard
[https://shop.neofect.com/collections/smart-rehab-solution/products/neofect-smart-pegboard] 
allows for a fun way to address all three of the above mentioned approaches. The
Smart Pegboard provides repetitive fine motor control activities which requires
the use of overall grasp and in hand manipulation. While performing these tasks
the client is being forced to involve grasp and transport together with a
specific emphasis on planning and executing these two components together to
complete each task. The client can choose from different size pegs or shapes to
further grade the activity.
