Neurolutions Ipsihand Upper Extremity Rehabilitation System

Description

The Neurolutions System is a Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) device developed for rehabilitation of upper extremity disability for chronic stroke patients. The device consists of the Neurolutions robotic handpiece, a biometric headset, and a Windows-based tablet computer. The Neurolutions System provides upper extremity rehabilitation using three separate modes: the main mode of therapy is referred to as the BCI or ‘thought’ mode, in which the patient’s hand is opened or closed by the Orthosis based on brain-signals received from the biometric headset; the second mode is referred to as a ‘volitional’ mode in which a patient actively opens and closes their hand with the System enabling independent range of motion; the third is a continuous passive motion (CPM) mode in which the System simply moves the patient’s hand passively through a comfortable range of motion in a repetitive fashion.
