Step-by-Step Training Guide for the Syrebo E12 Glove: From Level 1 to Level 3
The Syrebo E12 Hand Rehabilitation Glove is designed for progressive training — starting from passive movement for those with minimal hand function, advancing to active functional tasks. This guide explains how to get the most out of your training at each stage.
Anyone using the Syrebo E12 glove at home for stroke recovery, hand paralysis, or hand rehabilitation — regardless of current function level.
Level 1: Passive and Mirror Modes
Best for: Individuals beginning rehabilitation or those with little to no voluntary hand movement.
🔵 Passive Mode
The glove automatically opens and closes your affected hand while you watch and mentally try to follow the movement. This mode:
- Provides gentle stretching to relieve finger stiffness
- Helps maintain joint range of motion
- Stimulates sensory feedback pathways
Daily target: At least 10 minutes of Passive Mode.
🔵 Mirror Mode
Requires both the rehabilitation glove (affected hand) and mirror glove (unaffected hand). Your affected hand mirrors movements from your healthy hand, activating the brain regions involved in movement control.
Tips for best results:
- Focus your attention on actively trying to move while the glove assists
- Concentrate and imagine the movement happening
- Practice for at least 10 minutes daily
Level 2: Intermediate Exercises
Best for: Individuals with some active arm or hand movement, or those progressing from Level 1.
Warm-up first: Start with a 10-minute Level 1 session or electrical stimulation before advancing.
🟡 Opposition Mode
Focuses on pinching and gripping motions by moving the thumb and fingers together. This builds the foundation for fine motor skills.
Daily target: 2–5 minutes.
🟡 Fine Motor Mode
Isolates individual finger movements to build precision. Each finger receives individualized stretching and movement training.
Daily target: 2–5 minutes.
🟡 Mirror Mode with Functional Tasks
Incorporate real objects like balls or wooden blocks to practice grasping and releasing. This bridges therapy to real-world hand use and enhances brain engagement.
Level 3: Advanced Functional Training
Best for: Individuals with arm and hand movement who want to build strength and advanced functional skills.
Level 3 challenges the brain through varied everyday tasks and objects, promoting neural adaptation and practical ability. Examples:
- Stacking coins or playing cards
- Moving objects between containers
- Gripping, twisting, and releasing daily items
Sample Weekly Schedule
| Level | Daily Time | Key Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 20–30 min | Passive stretch + mirror activation |
| Level 2 | 15–20 min (after Level 1 warm-up) | Grip, pinch, and fine motor skills |
| Level 3 | 10–20 min (after Level 1–2 warm-up) | Functional tasks and strength |
