Summary

This study reports a single-case rehabilitation program for a chronic stroke patient focusing on innovative physiotherapy techniques. Over six weeks, the patient will undergo combined treatments including vestibular rehabilitation therapy, ultrasound therapy, and functional hand therapy using Saebo devices. The goal is to improve motor functions and daily living independence. This report aims to share clinical insights and outcomes to support stroke rehabilitation practices.

Detailed description

This single-case clinical report presents a comprehensive rehabilitation program for a stroke patient over a period of six weeks. The intervention consists of three main components: 1. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): Exercises aimed at improving ocular motor control, balance, and vestibulo-ocular reflex through specific eye movements and walking patterns, progressing in difficulty over time. 2. Ultrasound Therapy: Application of low-frequency portable ultrasound to targeted muscle groups to reduce spasticity and promote muscle relaxation, performed in prone or side-lying positions. 3. Functional Hand Rehabilitation: Use of SaeboStim GO and Saebo Glove devices to reduce spasticity in upper limb muscles and enhance hand function through electrical stimulation and active-assisted exercises. Throughout the program, treatment sessions are conducted three times weekly, each lasting two hours. Outcomes related to motor improvement, spasticity reduction, and functional independence are monitored and evaluated using descriptive statistics and time-series analysis. The purpose of this report is to provide detailed clinical insights into the application of combined innovative physiotherapy methods in stroke rehabilitation and to highlight their potential benefits.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	SaeboStim GO with Saebo Glove Rehabilitation Program	The intervention consists of a comprehensive rehabilitation program for a chronic stroke patient, utilizing the SaeboStim GO device combined with the Saebo Glove orthosis to facilitate and strengthen hand and upper limb motor function. The program also includes therapeutic ultrasound to support tissue healing, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) to enhance motor learning and engagement. This combined approach aims to improve motor skills, balance, gait, daily living activities, and cognitive functions over a treatment period of six months.
