What Is BraceX?
BraceX is a revolutionary physical therapy device that allows patients to safely and accurately perform essential exercises at home, significantly reducing the risk of re-injury, all while being remotely monitored by their therapist.
BraceX Is:
Lightweight
Easy to Use
Affordable
Portable
Safe
The Problem
Eccentric exercises are difficult to perform correctly at home. In clinical settings, isokinetic systems offer precision but are expensive and space-consuming. Other methods, often requiring a partner, are hard to execute and only reduce injury risk by 51%. Without direct supervision, therapists can’t ensure these exercises are being done properly at home, compromising their effectiveness.
The Solution
BraceX is a portable, brace-like at-home physical therapy device that allows for eccentric muscle exercise along with a mobile application that guides the patient to use the right amount of effort. This innovative design enables patients to access high-quality therapy exercises and strength testing safely to improve rehab outcomes and prevent re-injury. Physical therapists can rest easy knowing that patients are compliant and progressing towards their goals with at-home exercises while generating additional revenue with Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM).

How It Works
BraceX is designed with advanced sensors that monitor both the force exerted and the precise position of the leg during exercises, ensuring they are performed safely and accurately. Its linear actuators apply controlled resistance for eccentric exercises, allowing for full control over the applied force. These features enable real-time feedback and remote monitoring, ensuring correct force and movement throughout each session.
Additionally, BraceX includes safety mechanisms like a kill switch and pinch-point sensors for user protection. It easily attaches to a tilt mechanism to position the leg at the optimal angle for specific rehabilitation protocols. The combination of sensors, actuators, and feedback systems supports progressive, controlled exercises, helping improve limb symmetry, reduce the risk of re-injury, and track progress through biofeedback or gamification features.

The Details
BraceX is a wearable, brace-like device designed to enhance rehabilitation by enabling eccentric strengthening exercises. The device consists of two arms joined at an axis of rotation, powered by one or two actuators (such as linear actuators or motors) and controlled by a microcontroller.
It has multiple sensors to monitor the position and force applied by the limb during exercises. These sensors ensure that the exercises are performed correctly and safely by providing real-time feedback and controlling the movement of the actuators. The device also features safety mechanisms, such as a kill switch and pinch point sensors, to protect the user during use.
