Imagine, your computer’s printer program stops functioning. Would you be content with going to the printer and moving the cartridges to and fro in the hope that your Word document will start to appear on the paper? Of course not. Would you do something similar if a brain was injured and an arm or leg was fully paralysed?
If normal muscle tone and voluntary movements are not restored within 7 days, rigidity gradually sets in. The rigidity may lead to clawing of the affected hand and drop foot. Early use of the OKCS app prevents the development of rigidity. ORCID: 0009-0003-0376-8605. Remember that at the onset of a stroke o brain injury, the muscles are still normal and not at fault for the paralysis. They have just lost control signals from the brain. Give them back those control signals as soon as possible and they will work again without any change to them. Delay giving them back the signals and they start to stiffen. until they become fixed in rigid deformity.
For people with traumatic brain injuries, stroke, spinal cord injuries and post intensive care paralysis, there is a progression of rigidity due to the inability to move arms away from the side of the body to lift objects and the inability to open clawing hands to manipulate objects even when one has minimal observable shoulder movements.
When used early, within days after traumatic brain injuries, stroke, spinal cord injuries, Guillain Barre Syndrome and post Intensive Therapy/Care Unit (ITU/ICU) paralysis the optokinetic chart stimulation (OKCS) app catalyses the brain to restore balance, muscle tone and voluntary movements as long as an entire half of a brain has not been completely injured.
At Neurorestorative and Neurorehabilitation Solutions Pvt Ltd (NRNRS), the mission is to avoid leaving brain recovery to life’s lottery. The earlier a brain is catalysed to recover the better it is for the person affected by stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Guillain Barre Syndrome or post intensive care therapy/unit paralysis. The earlier a brain is catalysed to recover the better it is for health service providers, social care budgets, the economy (regained productivity) and the carbon footprint (reduced travel for follow up).
NRNRS Ltd is an innovator of the optokinetic chart stimulation (OKCS) app. A person looks at the app as it runs and is displayed on the screen of a laptop or desktop computer. This app is for people with traumatic brain injuries, stroke, spinal cord injuries, Guillain Barre Syndrome and post Intensive Therapy/Care Unit (ITU/ICU) paralysis. OKCS is a non-invasive brain and nervous system stimulation app. It is a medical (neurological) device that may be used as an adjunct to neurophysiotherapy. It is registered with the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
For those with neurodegenerative conditions, the app may be used to slow deterioration or maintain their function.
