Cerebrovascular diseases take away an average of over 10000 lives annually, even if patients with cerebral apoplexy survive, there are always sequelae caused by various degrees of nerve injuries leading to physical disability. What’s more, as muscular atrophy or functional degeneration occur easily to patients because of a long-time lack of exercises, they need to accept a long-term rehabilitation therapy. While at present, most clinical rehabilitation devices are in a static state and without feedback function, which makes patients feel exhausted during repeated operations of the same actions, thus leading to an unsatisfactory rehabilitation effect. In addition, clinical assessments of physical performance are usually completed through assessment scales, in which specific values are rarely used, so that most patients and their relations can only observe their independent movement capacity through daily life, which also easily leads to doubts about the uncertainty of rehabilitation effect.
The Intelligent Stacking Cone Upper Limb Rehabilitation Device, hereinafter referred to as GoCone, comes from the Stacking Cone and Gopher, just like what is stated before, we would like to integrate the concept of game machines with rehabilitation market, through which we also hope to improve the digitalization of rehabilitation environment. Targeted at the stacking cone, a rehabilitation device used by patients with cerebral apoplexy, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and Parkinson’s disease.when they train their initiative movements of upper limbs. We have developed the GoCone, which integrates diagnosis with rehabilitation, retains the sense of entity brought by traditional rehabilitation activities using stacking cones and adds in the typical game mode of Gopher. It not only increases the interestingness of rehabilitation activities, but also stimulates sensory organs, trains hand-eye coordination capacity, finger-palm grasping and releasing functions, muscle force, endurance as well as coordination capacity, etc.. Meanwhile, functional classification of upper limbs of patients can be judged by the game result, which becomes a record of their disease progressions and provides reference for clinical decisions.
