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?
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 very slight to slight residual 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 where an entire half of a brain has not been injured to a point of impairing the parietal lobe, basal ganglia and temporal lobes at the same time.
If normal muscle tone and voluntary movements are not restored within 3 months, rigidity starts to set 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
At Neurorestorative and Neurorehabilitation Solutions (NRNRS), the mission is to avoid leaving brain recovery to life’s lottery. After all, time is money. 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.
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 Authority (MHRA)
For those with neurodegenerative conditions, the app may be used to slow deterioration or maintain their function.
