    i had the bioness consultation this morning

    https://i.imgur.com/QxLHhoE.mp4

    this is the machine trying to perform hand extension. at what it's supposed to do (stimulate the muscle body to perform a task) it's doing a great job. the reason why that is not enough to completely open my hand is due to 2 reasons:

    1. the level of my tonicity or spasticity, which is when your flexor muscles are activating even when you don't want them to.

    2. the muscle body only control your knuckles, not your finger knuckles. they are only controlled by an overflow of what you're sending to your knuckles

    to make a proper decision and have this work for me(it costs 6k) i am going to wait until my next botox appointment because

    botox = stop flexors, stop flexors + bioness = full finger extension

    also it is shown that electrical stimulation therapy can help up to 5 years post injury

    @Shady

    awesome to see man!

    that's some pretty good range already, especially if its without botox. looks promising g. hope the appt sheds more light on your current function, keep us posted!

    i’m going to schedule another appointment a few weeks after my botox so i can just make sure it’s right for me, which i think it is because after learning how the fingers work exactly. that unit does exactly what it says it’s supposed to so it looks very promising given a tone decrease

    rescheduled an appt for 10/13 more than enough time after botox to make sure it’s gonna be right. hoping the botox goes better this time around @Shady

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BRO 🏁💜🦹

    my spasticity doc wasn't necessarily sold on the bioness and i'm really not sure why, he wasn't convinced that i should be spending so much money on something that may not necessarily work, but rec'd me to go to an OT who has the device to use it there. but after co pays if i did that 2x/week it would be more per month than if i had the device myself and i could use it for

    it seems like he really thinks i can end up w voluntary extension from just botox so if that was the case i'd be ecstatic
