The Healthy Living Podcast, Stroke Recovery
Learn about a revolutionary medical device to help stroke patients rehab faster on this episode of the Healthy Living Podcast.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the U.S. with nearly 800,000 people suffering a stroke each year. In one minute, a stroke can kill 2 million brain cells. 60% of those who survive a stroke are left with arm and hand weakness and paralysis because their brain is no longer communicating with their upper extremities.
Terri Stemple, territory manager for MicroTransponder, introduces us to Vivistim, a device surgically implanted to stimulate the vagus nerve. The Vivistim implant, paired with intense rehab therapy, helps rebuild connections to the brain so arm and hand movements are possible again.
