About us

The mission of NRNRS is to prevent permanent disability and fixed deformities arising from stroke and any other acquired brain injuries through the earliest recovery of critical antigravity balance muscles which underpin the restoration of voluntary muscle strength after full paralysis. The philosophy of NRNRS is to innovate and transform lives through specific recovery of affected paralysed limbs rather than just allowing general compensatory function based on balancing and use of the unaffected side’s limbs.

The most important phase is to get the anti-gravity networks in the brain recovering to regain control of the ability to resist gravity in sitting, standing and then when walking. This is how human beings function. If one does not recover use of their anti-gravity extensor muscles then they lean to one side or fall and become depended on hoists. 

 

The app OKCS and mechanical devices under development are aimed at restoring the 3 essential components of the ability to resist gravity which underpins human function. The OKCS app for “neuromuscular rehabilitation” is the first app under the Global Medical Devices Nomenclature (GMDN) to cause this term to be registered with GMDN. It works for neuroplasticity between the sensory input organs and the central processor brain (the first 2 essential components) so that anti-gravity control signals can be sent to motor output organs, the muscles (the 3rd essential component).

Thus, restoration of balance on the affected side needs to involve sensing, relaying, processing and relaying again. Focussing only on voluntary exercises of the limbs leads to compensatory balancing and moving mostly with the unaffected side while the affected leg stiffens for compensatory stability at the cost of well coordinated movement.
