HandTutor™

HandTutor™ – What is it?

HandTutor™ is a rehabilitation program designed for hand therapy, consisting of active exercises. The system is based on a safe and comfortable glove equipped with sensors that detect position and speed, paired with specialized software.

The program leverages the concept of biofeedback, providing therapists with an accessible and affordable rehabilitation package. It is CE and FDA medically certified, ensuring its safety and effectiveness for clinical use.

HandTutor™ facilitates both physical therapy and occupational rehabilitation by offering exercises tailored to the patient's needs. These exercises focus on improving hand function, specifically targeting range of motion, accuracy, and speed of movement.

Key Features:

  • Biofeedback Mechanism: The system records and documents patient progress, allowing for continuous monitoring and optimization of the therapy. This information can also be shared with other therapists and specialists to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes.

  • Customizable Exercise Games: Therapists can select and adjust the game and difficulty level based on the patient's specific impairments. The difficulty can be set manually or automatically adjusted by the computer as the patient's range of motion improves.
