Real Testimonials
Six Patients' Recovery Journeys
Witnessing the Power of Medical Technology
The theory and functional introduction may be somewhat abstract.
Next, let's intuitively experience the changes brought about by this device through six real patient stories.
The protagonists of these stories are all ordinary people who have suffered from the aftereffects of stroke.
Patient A (age 40+)
Middle-aged return to the workforce: Rebuilding the family's breadwinner.
Patient B (age 50+)
From "unable to write" to "holding the mouse again": The professor's path to rebuilding the world of communication.
Patient C (age 60+)
Self-reliance and composure: Regaining dignity in daily life.
Patient D (age 70+)
A journey to "break the ice": Unlocking an arm stiff for ten years.
Patient E (age 40+)
Say goodbye to shoulder pain and regain your strength. From difficulty raising your arm to effortless lifting.
Patient F (age 40+)
From passive to active: Witnessing the efficiency of cross-border remote rehabilitation in 28 days.
Patient A | age 40+
-
Ischemic stroke
-
Chronic-stage intervention
-
Device used in clinic and home settings
Basic Information
-
Unable to perform grasping / fine motor tasks
-
Daily life severely restricted
Pre-Treatment Status
Restoration of Fine Finger Function, Enabling Return to Work
Through device-assisted rehabilitation training, the patient not only regained the ability to grasp and manipulate small objects, but also, building on this progress, recovered essential work-related and self-care abilities within six months, ultimately achieving a full return to societal roles.
-
3 months: Able to grasp small objects
-
6 months: Functional recovery, returned to work

Patient B | age 50+
Basic Information
-
Hemorrhagic stroke
-
Subacute-stage intervention
-
Started bedside in hospital → transitioned to home rehabilitation
Pre-Treatment Status
-
Complete loss of hand motor function
-
No voluntary movement
-
Severe impact on daily life
Restoration of functional communication: from signature to digital interaction
Beyond overcoming complete hand paralysis, the patient regained the ability to sign and to operate digital interfaces—functions essential to personal agency and societal participation—reflecting not only motor recovery but also restoration of social identity and cognitive engagement.
Rehabilitation Outcomes
-
6 months: Able to sign and write (roughly)
-
1 year: Able to use a computer mouse

Patient C | age 60+
Basic Information
-
Ischemic stroke
-
Chronic-stage intervention
-
Device used in clinics & homes
-
Limited joint mobility (shoulder & elbow stiffness)
-
Unable to dress or perform hygiene independently
-
Weak hand strength, unable to lift small objects
Pre-Treatment Status
Restoration of independent activities of daily living (ADLs)
Significant improvements in upper limb range of motion and strength enabled independent performance of dressing and personal hygiene, as well as functional grasp of daily objects. These changes reflect a transition from care dependency to functional independence.
-
Independent daily activities (dressing, hygiene)
-
Improved hand strength
-
Able to lift ~500g objects

-
Device used at home
Pre-Treatment Status
-
Severe shoulder/elbow stiffness
-
Shoulder asymmetry
-
Hand clenched
-
No voluntary contraction in extensor muscles
“Resetting” a Stiff Arm: Regaining Ease and Control
For this chronic-stage patient undergoing home-based rehabilitation, the intervention alleviated joint stiffness and achieved a critical breakthrough: the first voluntary contraction of previously paralyzed muscle groups. The patient showed improved upper limb mobility, faster and more independent dressing, including putting on a jacket, and renewed motivation to actively engage in rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation Outcomes-6M
-
Stiffness resolved, shoulders level & aligned
-
Elbow can flex/extend voluntarily
-
Finger extensors show slight voluntary contraction

Patient E | age 40+
Basic Information
-
Hemorrhagic stroke
-
Subacute-stage intervention
-
Device used at home
Pre-Treatment Status
-
Chronic shoulder pain
-
Arm elevation limited to pelvic level
-
Generalized weakness of the affected upper limb
Rehabilitation Outcomes-6M
-
Significantly reduced shoulder pain
-
Able to lift and place the arm steadily on a table
-
Mild voluntary elbow flexion and extension
-
Improved finger strength and firm object grasping
Say Goodbye to Pain, Regain Strength
Once, shoulder pain and weakness made even lifting the arm a challenge. Today, the pain has eased, and the arm’s range of motion has greatly improved. The most encouraging change is that the once-weak hand can now steadily lift a shopping bag containing a 300g item. This small weight carries a powerful sense of confidence in returning to daily life.

Cross-Border (Canada) Telerehabilitation Service
Pre-Treatment Status
-
Impaired hand sensation
-
Weak finger strength
-
No voluntary contraction of the muscles responsible for hand flexion and extension
Cross-Border Telerehabilitation: A Key Shift from Passive to Active Recovery
Through Hong Kong–Canada cross-border telerehabilitation, the patient began to show active hand muscle contraction within two weeks and fully transitioned from passive to active training after four weeks. This shift marks an important rehabilitation milestone, reflecting the patient’s progress from being assisted to actively participating in recovery. From complete weakness to firm object grasping, both the patient and caregiver regained confidence, while demonstrating the value of telerehabilitation in continuous support, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Rehabilitation Outcomes-6M
