Rehabilitation Robotics Technology for Post Stroke Therapy
Error enhancement based therapy for stroke patients utilizing rehabilitation robotics.
BioXtreme’s singular technology shortens neurorehabilitation time by up to 50%.
How Does It Work
Unique robotic system applies motor error enhancement forces in a combined
virtual environment to restore and rehabilitate motion and dexterity.
The enhanced error forces stimulate an adaptive corrective response from the patient, which leads to the regulation of the system until the desired trajectory is accomplished by the patient.
The process shortens upper limb therapy time by up to 50% and patients achieve 100% additional motor improvement compared to traditional physical therapy methods.
Validation & Results
Three clinical trials have been completed in Israel and delivered the following results:
Neurorehabilitation time for stroke patients shortened by up to 50%
(compared to patients using other technologies)
Two additional clinical trials are currently on-going in Leuven, Belgium and Tel-Aviv, Israel, for a total of 80 patients.
deXtreme™ 3.1 has completed development stages and is market-ready. The device is FDA and CE registered.
BioXtreme singular methodology and technology are globally patent protected.
