🔵 Advancing stroke recovery: The Vivistim System👇 For patients affected by ischemic stroke, regaining mobility in the upper limbs can be a challenging and lengthy process. The recent FDA-approved Vivistim System by MicroTransponder brings new hope to this area, combining vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with targeted rehabilitation exercises to enhance motor function recovery. 💡How it works: The Vivistim device, implanted under the skin, stimulates the vagus nerve during physical therapy sessions, helping the brain relearn movement more effectively. Clinical studies have shown that stroke survivors using this system experience greater improvements in arm and hand movement compared to standard therapy alone. 👥 Impact for patients: This innovation represents a shift in stroke rehabilitation, providing a new tool to support patients in regaining independence and improving quality of life. For healthcare professionals and those of us working in patient support programs, Vivistim opens doors to integrated care options that go beyond traditional methods. The Vivistim System highlights how cutting-edge technology can reshape recovery, offering tailored support that meets the needs of each patient. This is an exciting development for the future of post-stroke care and rehabilitation. #StrokeRehabilitation #Vivistim #VagusNerveStimulation #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #NeuroRehabilitation
