Teleregain: Accelerating stroke rehabilitation from home
Introducing Teleregain, a revolutionary device created to rebuild these connections from the comfort of a person’s home, developed by University of Sheffield researchers.
In England, one in six people will have a stroke in their lifetime. Stroke survivors can be left with lasting damage as signals between the brain and muscles become weakened. Researchers at the University of Sheffield have designed TeleRegain, a revolutionary device created to rebuild these connections from the comfort of a person’s home.
The project, which is part of the University’s Insigneo Institute, is led by Dr Mahnaz Arvaneh from the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering. Her expertise is in brain-computer interface, neural signal processing, and their applications in monitoring and enhancing physical and mental health. She and her team, with help from external partners, are using Teleregain to restore signal pathways between the brain and muscles while equally reducing calibration time and complexity of set up.
