The ReGrasp Hand Neurorehabilitation System by Rehabtronics is transforming the way patients recover hand function at home following neurological injuries such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Using scientifically proven Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) technology, ReGrasp helps improve hand mobility and range of motion. Its slim, fitted design is built for everyday wear, enabling users to engage in daily activities while continuing their rehabilitation.
“Until recently, this type of technology was typically only available in clinical settings.” says Dr. Bojana Turic, Chief Medical Officer of Rehabtronics. “Now it is available for home use. This is important because patients regain hand function faster when they can consistently use NMES in their daily lives, not just during therapy sessions. ReGrasp uniquely supports both rehabilitation and independence.”
Addressing User Feedback to Empower Recovery at Home
Traditionally, ReGrasp is operated through a tapping motion or via a discreet wireless controller worn behind the ear. After gathering valuable feedback from users, Rehabtronics is introducing a new way to interact with the system: an external button control.
This new component will be included with all future Patient Systems to enhance accessibility and improve user experience. It allows patients to activate the system’s stimulation with a simple button press—ideal for users who may find the current control options physically challenging.
Key Advantages of the External Button Control
- Increased Accessibility: Offers an alternative control method for users with limited head mobility or who cannot easily tap the stimulator.
- Enhanced User Experience: Simplifies operation and increases confidence for users in real-world environments.
- Greater Versatility: Supports diverse patient needs and usage preferences, ensuring ReGrasp remains a flexible and inclusive solution.
The addition of the external button control underscores Rehabtronics’ commitment to patient-centered innovation. It’s another step in ensuring more patients can benefit from advanced neurorehabilitation—on their terms.
