Motus Nova Founded
On a mission to deliver neuro-rehab in every home through robotic exoskeletons guided by AI.
When conventional rehab is too slow, Motus is the answer for neurological injury and stroke recovery: home-based active assistive hand and foot therapy tools. You can get more hours of therapy in addition to traditional rehab whether you are 10 days or 10 years after a neurological setback.

“On the left, before 30 days. On the right, after. Neuroplasticity at work!”
– Jodi, caregiver to Rob
“30 hours on the Motus Hand in 30 days complete! I am proud of how far my hand brain and I have come.”
– Zoe, PT, DPT
“I have completed the 30 hour challenge on my Motus Hand rehab robot! I’m excited to keep going.”
– Connor
No hassle delivery, easy setup
After beginning your subscription, your Motus will be delivered to your home. You will receive the Motus Hand or Foot and a 23” touchscreen. Set up is designed to be completed with one hand.
Onboarding call
During the first week of your subscription, a Therapy Specialist will ensure you are on the right track and answer any questions you or a caregiver may have.
More hours = more recovery
Science says hours predicts recovery. Clinical studies (Lang, et al. 2015, Lohse et al, 2014) showcase that higher doses of therapy can result in faster functional gains. If needed, the Motus will extend or flex your hand or foot similar to a therapist’s assistance.
Watch your progress
Brain injury survivors are only getting a fraction of rehab from the healthcare system. With Motus, you can get more hours of therapy on your own schedule. As you continue therapy, you can keep track of your progress by checking your reports on the Motus Screen.
Gradually build independence
Motus therapy has proven to be a game-changer for stroke survivors, even those who are 5 or 10 years post-stroke. By dedicating more hours to rehabilitation each week, users have reported remarkable improvements in their hand function like increased range of motion and reduced muscle tone. These results demonstrate the powerful impact of rehabilitation and the effectiveness of Motus therapy in helping post-stroke patients regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
Goodbye Motus!
Our ultimate goal is to restore independence to all brain injury survivors. Once you have reached your rehab goals, simply cancel your subscription and return the Motus Hand or Motus Foot.
Brain injury survivors from 5-95 years old are seeing success even if their injury occurred 10 years ago.
Even if you have no movement, Motus users are seeing improvement in motor control.
The Motus Foot helps stroke survivors walk longer and faster, even if they start with no active movement.
When conventional rehabilitation is too slow, Motus is the answer for neurological injury and stroke recovery: home based active assistive hand and foot therapy tools. You can get more hours of therapy in addition to traditional rehab whether you are ten days or ten years after a neurological setback.

Hemiparesis from stroke is not your life. This is technology to get you back to the real you. Prove them wrong–those that say you can’t get any better. Motus users say they’ve made more gains in weeks or months than they have in years of traditional rehab.

Brain injuries can be debilitating. But no matter how long it’s been since your injury or your age, every brain can learn and rewire. Every brain can heal. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to relearning your movements other than to put in the hours. The injured brain needs practice, practice, and more practice to make those new connections.
Clinical studies (Lang, et al. 2015, Lohse, et al. 2014) showcase that higher doses of therapy can result in faster functional gains.
Stroke and brain injury survivors are getting a fraction of the hours of rehabilitation from the healthcare system.
Most stroke survivors believe the fastest gains are made during in-patient rehab because of the proximity to their injury date. But that is not the primary reason! You most likely received substantially more hours of therapy (usually 3-5 per day) during in-patient rehab than you do now. This high dosage of hours was the accelerant to your recovery.
Most stroke survivors report receiving 2 hours of out-patient therapy a week, which is significantly less than the recommended amount.
Motus users have seen gains after 15 years post stroke by putting in more hours of rehab per week.

The Motus Hand & Foot robots provide rehab that has been scientifically proven to be of equivalent quality to a skilled clinician.
More importantly there is no cap on the number of hours of therapy. You set the limit for how much therapy you receive. Boost your rehab hours by 10x!
The pneumatic pump in our robots is designed to be used even by those who have no movement.
Motus exoskeletons are uniquely designed to be a good fit for hands or feet with these impairments.
Motus rehab routines are designed with games to keep you constantly engaged.
The Motus Hand & Motus Foot are shipped directly to your home and designed to be used independently without need of any assistance.
You don’t need a screen! The Motus Hand & Foot are both shipped with a monitor that will guide you through your therapy.
The Motus Digital Therapist is built with AI designed to learn your impairments and gauge your progress from data being provided by built-in movement sensors. If you need additional assistance you can sign up for a telehealth session with one of our specialists.
Your reports will give you real time updates on improvement in range of motion and strength. But more importantly you should feel the improvement in your own movement as well.

The more hours you put in the cheaper the hourly rate. Most users on average pay $10/hour of use. We encourage you to contact a specialist to discuss pricing options.

2016
Designed to speed up stroke recovery by increasing the number of repetitions in a rehab session, clinical studies proved Motus robots can deliver clinical level of care.
Clinical Studies2017
Motus introduced the first iteration of robots called The Motus Hand & Foot Mentor Pro. They were built specifically for hospitals and cost over $20,000.
2018
The hospital setting limited user access to 2 hours per week. For survivors to benefit from the robots, they needed to use them on a daily basis. The only way to make this possible was to bring Motus robots into the home.
We spent 2 years engineering the device with two goals in mind:
2018
The average out-of-pocket cost per hour of outpatient neuro rehab is $50 per session plus the cost of time and transportation.
With two outpatient visits per week, this is about $430 for 8.6 hours of rehab per month for the average stroke survivor
Some Motus users complete 30-50+ hours of rehab per month at a fraction of the cost of traditional out-patient rehabilitation.
2019
The Technology Association of Georgia, one of the country’s largest technology associations with 30,000+ members, recognized Motus Nova for its innovative applications of gaming to healthcare, financial impact, and likelihood to succeed.
