KMI Hand Mentor


The KMI Hand Mentor is an exercise therapy device that actively involves the patient in their rehabilitation eg after a stroke. And behind the hand is an immense computational power. The Mentor encourages a patient to extend their wrist and fingers as much as possible on their own. When maximum self extension is achieved the Mentor will engage a pneumatic actuator and assist the movement of the wrist and fingers to full extension. In addition to recruitment of hand function, the Mentor will actively stretch the hand in an effort to reduce spasticity. Watch a video demo here.(wma)
