- Which are the most popular products sold on your site? Please give a brief explanation why.
StimOne, SaeboStim Pro and SaeboGlove . There is not a simple answer why these are most popular but some factors may be – ease of use, dynamic tools for rehab i.e. assist working on regaining movement, and they are supported by evidence base in rehab ( see new National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke)
2. Many of your products focus on physical stimulation, do you see a gap to improve mental strength such as memory?
Not within the customer base that we target, no.
3. My research for stroke patients is based on interacting with everyday objects, which of your items are everyday objects which have been transformed especially for stroke survivors, and which objects can you see being transformed in the future?
A lot of our customers need to gain enough movement to be able to interact with everyday object first. This is why our products are focused on regaining activity. The Saeboglove is the product closest to enable stroke survivors to interact with the environment.
4. Which of the products are portable and can be used in versatile spaces (e.g. travelling on public transport, backpacks, etc)?
SaeboStep, SaeboGlove, SaeboStim one and SaeboStim pro . These are mainly tools that would be attached to the person rather than carrying them.
5. Which of your products could turn into effective gaming strategies focussing on the mind?
None
6. Having personal experience and interaction with a stroke survivor, I realised that they haven’t used certain items to support them such as pens made specifically for stroke survivors, why do you think this would be the case for their unpopularity?
I wouldn’t say this is unpopular, it is often due to lack of knowledge and lack of resources to access these.
7. What motivates stroke survivors the most during training? E.g. tools, objects, items etc.
This is a question for stroke survivors – everyone is motivated slightly different depending on their goals and stage in their rehab journey
8. A key strategy for improvement is engaging with textures for stroke survivors, which materials and textures would you recommend that assist this process that are most beneficial for sensory development?
This is only key if they have sensory impairment which not every stroke survivor has. For those that have a sensory impairment variety is key rather than any one texture.
