A life-changing tool, the ReGrasp bionic glove is backed by 30 years of research on functional electrical stimulation (FES) to improve active range of motion and hand function. Whether you’re suffering with hemiplegia or upper limb paralysis, ReGrasp is proven to:
NOTE: ReGrasp is not available for sale in Canada
The ReGrasp provides patients with the opportunity to have functional rehabilitation at their fingertips in order to improve their independence and quality of life. This device opens the door for patients to have access to advanced technology in their home, rather than just in a clinical setting
ReGrasp has been a game changer for me in regaining more hand mobility post stroke.
It has helped me pick things up from the table, wash dishes, sweep, or just open my hand when tone or fatigue is getting the best of me. The exercise programs are easy to use anytime. I love my ReGrasp! It’s good to have anywhere you are. I never leave home without mine.
Having a head motion sensor to activate the ReGrasp without using the other hand is really important and makes it really versatile.
Watch our brief video to see how the ReGrasp bionic glove works and to hear what Heather Branscombe, a Rehabilitation Specialist, has to say about her experience working with patients using ReGrasp for rehabilitation and daily activities.
ReGrasp is proven to help regain hand function and to assist patients who have hand paralysis to perform daily activities using FES technology. Simple to set-up and use at home every day, ReGrasp is the ideal tool to help regain hand function and to help paralyzed fingers grasp. Physicians and therapists also use ReGrasp with their patients in clinics.
*In patients with hemiplegia or upper limb paralysis due to stroke, traumatic or acquired brain injury, or C5 level cervical spinal cord injury.
ReGrasp offers the benefits of FES technology to everyone who needs it wherever they are. It’s designed to help with day-to-day activities.
We can thank Prof. (Ameritus) Arthur Prochazka, now retired professor in the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute at the University of Alberta, for ReGrasp.
Arthur recognized a lack of effective and accessible technologies for upper limb and hand rehabilitation due to stroke or spinal injury in the 1980s. He dedicated 30 years to translating neuroscience research into practical tools that help people regain hand and arm function. ReGrasp evolved from an electric garment innovation called the Bionic Glove, which assisted hand grasp and release.
ReGrasp is available in the United States for home use with a prescription. Price includes shipping and a $100 credit for a fitting with a therapist.
