MediTouch Ltd. manufactures innovative rehabilitation systems that consist of wearable motion capture devices and dedicated rehabilitation software. For hand and arm rehabilitation, the company offers the HandTutor™ an ergonomic glove and the ArmTutor™, an ergonomic elbow brace and shoulder 3D position system. For leg rehabilitation the company offers the LegTutor™ an ergonomic knee brace and hip 3D position system. Together with dedicated rehabilitation software MediTouch rehabilitation systems allow patients with upper and or lower extremity movement dysfunction to practice intensive virtual functional task training of single and multi joints. In this way our systems implement impairment oriented training (IOT) with augmented motion feedback to give a tailored arm or leg exercise rehabilitation program that allows the patient to achieve better functional recovery.
It is widely accepted that a combination of impairment oriented training with task specific training is essential for enhancing functional recovery. MediTouch provides dedicated rehabilitation systems for upper and lower extremity limb based on impairment oriented evaluation and training. The HandTutor is an ergonomic glove with dedicated windows based rehabilitation software that allows a therapist to evaluate kinematics hand movement parameters (range of motion (ROM), speed and accuracy of movement). The interactive program is customized to the patient's motor sensory and cognitive ability and allows for documented tele-rehabilitation with sessions being conducted over the internet. The HandTutor system provides objective and quantitative kinematic finger and writs movement measurements and customization of exercise tasks to the patients' condition. All the data is documented and saved to the patients electronic file within the system. The system is used for hand rehabilitation by physical and occupational therapy in hospital and community rehabilitation centers as well as through tele-rehabilitation with the patient in their own home. HandTutor is indicated for hand rehabilitation following neurological and orthopedic injuries such as Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Hand Surgery, Brachial Plexus Injuries, Radial and Ulnar nerve injuries, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Development Co-ordination Syndrome, ADD, and ADHD. The system is safe and reliable, affordable, user friendly, FDA and CE certified.
