What is it?
It is a robotic rehabilitation system (of the hand and fingers) that helps patients relearn how to move the hand and fingers, grasp and release objects and generally all the activities we do with our hands every day.
Who is it for?
It is one of the most useful treatments for patients who have suffered a stroke, head injury, cerebral palsy, incomplete spinal cord injury, trauma or burns to the hand.
How does it benefit?
This treatment has the advantage that it can be applied several times a day, performing hundreds of repetitions and with precision in the movements of the hand. It stimulates the mechanism of neuroplasticity, activating the brain neurons to make new connections between them which helps to relearn and regain hand mobility.
The treatment is indicated at all stages of hand rehabilitation, from cases without any movement to full mobility and strengthening of the hand muscles.
How is it applied?
- Trains each finger individually in flexion and extension with simultaneous virtual 3D visual feedback
- With the hand rehabilitation system, functional object grasping activities are directly performed that improve the learning process and retraining of movements.
- When the patient has movement in the fingers but is unable to grasp objects, assisted therapy is applied, i.e. performing the movement until the point where it is capable and the robotic system recognises and undertakes to complete it in full.
- Mirror training therapy is an effective method to activate the mechanism of neuroplasticity in the brain. It is achieved with the robotic system in such a way that the affected hand performs all the movements in imitation, which the healthy hand performs at the same time.
- It motivates the patient and improves active participation with interactive games.
It is the robotic system that accelerates the learning process of hand rehabilitation.
