Stroke hand

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. It may result in brain necrosis which lead to disability or even death. After stroke incident, hemiplegia is one of the common conditions, including spasticity which means involuntary muscles contracts. Spasticity involves distal body part, including hand and limits its function. A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications. Due to this fact, spasticity’s prevention with our fingerboard stroke hand splint OKG-12 is essential.
