Problem
Individuals recovering from strokes or traumatic brain injuries often experience upper-extremity weakness, hindering their ability to perform daily tasks and impacting their overall quality of life. Traditional rehabilitation methods may be limited by access to specialized clinics and the intensity of therapy that can be sustained over the long term.
Solution
Houston Bionics offers the ExoRehab X, a home-based exoskeletal device designed to facilitate active movement therapy for individuals with upper-extremity weakness. The device supports movement across five joints—elbow, wrist (ulnar-radial deviation and flexion-extension), shoulder, and forearm—enabling personalized and gamified therapy sessions. Integrated sensors track patient performance and provide reports with easy-to-understand metrics, allowing users to monitor their progress. By providing accessible and engaging rehabilitation, the ExoRehab X aims to improve mobility and functionality for patients in the comfort of their own homes.
