Revolutionizing Accessible Rehabilitation
Access to effective rehabilitative techniques, especially for eccentric strengthening and assistive devices, is often limited due to cost, distance to clinics, and the need for significant clinician guidance. These barriers can lead to dissatisfaction, impaired function, and a high risk of re-injury. Eccentric exercises, which involve the muscle lengthening as it contracts, are particularly effective in reducing re-injury rates for conditions like ACL and hamstring injuries. However, current methods are often expensive, require bulky equipment, or demand a partner, making them less accessible for at-home or non-clinic use.
BraceX addresses these challenges by offering a portable, easy-to-use device that enables patients to perform eccentric exercises safely and accurately at home. It eliminates the need for a partner or bulky equipment and provides controlled, progressive rehabilitation. Beyond its orthopedic applications, this technology is versatile, benefiting patients with conditions such as COPD, Parkinson’s Disease, and cerebral palsy by improving muscle strength and function.
