deXtreme™: The Next Movement in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Robotics
How It Works
Unique robotic system applies motoric error enhancement forces in a combined VR environment to restore and rehabilitate motion and dexterity. The enhanced error forces stimulate an adaptive corrective response from the patient, which leads to the regulation of the system until the desired trajectory is accomplished by the patient.
The process shortens upper limb therapy time by up to 50% and patients achieve 100% additional motor improvement compared to traditional physical therapy methods.
Results
Three clinical trials have been completed in Israel and delivered the following results:
- Neurorehabilitation time for stroke patients shortened by up to 30%-50%
- Motoric results improved by the same ratio
A fourth clinical trial is on-going in the Netherlands.
deXtreme™ 3.0 has completed development stages and is market-ready.
BioXtreme singular methodology and technology are globally patent protected.
