Clinically Proven Stroke Rehabilitation

Motus users are making Recoveries from Stroke. Reach your recovery goals faster.

When conventional rehab is too slow, Motus is the answer for stroke recovery; a home-based therapy tool that can provide more therapy hours compared to traditional stroke rehab whether you are 10 days or 10 years after brain injury.

Check out our warriors!

How It Works in 6 Steps

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Neuro-Recovery through Rehabilitation Hours

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.

More Rehab Hours, Faster Stroke Recovery.

Science says hours predict recovery.

Clinical studies (Lang, et al. 2015, Lohse, et al. 2014) showcase that higher doses of therapy can result in faster functional gains.

You need more hours.

Stroke and brain injury survivors are getting a fraction of the hours of rehabilitation from the healthcare system.

ionicons-v5-e

More Rehab Hours, Faster Stroke Recovery.

Did you make the fastest gains during your in-patient rehab?

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.

How many hours of rehab are you getting now?

Most stroke survivors report receiving 2 hours of out-patient therapy a week, which is significantly less than the recommended amount.

What if you could receive the same hours of therapy as in-patient rehab?

Motus users have seen gains after 15 years post stroke by putting in more hours of rehab per week.

15 Hours

Inpatient Rehab Hours per Week

2 Hours 86.7%

Outpatient Rehab Hours per Week

15-30 Hours 100%

Motus Rehab Hours per Week

Engineering a $20,000 hospital rehab robot to be portable and affordable for the home.

2013

Motus Nova Founded

On a mission to deliver neuro-rehab in every home through robotic exoskeletons guided by AI.

2016

A Decade of Clinical Trials

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 Studies

2017

About 200 nationwide clinic deployments for Hand & Foot Mentor Pro

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

Launched Research & Development to bring Motus into the Home

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:

  • Independent use:
    • Program an AI trained to be a digital therapist

    2018

    What is the average price of out-patient rehabilitation?

    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

    Voted Most Innovative Tech Company of 2019 by the Technology Association of Georgia

    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.

    See Full Story

    2020

    Launched Motus Hand and Motus Foot for the Home

    By 2020 we began shipping out the first at home models for the Motus Hand & Motus Foot, increasing access to rehab and providing up to 10 times more rehab for the same price as your current outpatient therapy.

    2023

    Deployed the Motus Hand and Motus Foot in 3,000+ homes across all 50 states

    Trusted by hundreds of clinicians and used by thousands of stroke survivors, the Motus Hand and Motus Foot are proven to be effective at-home, active-assisted gamified robotic rehab technoloy. See for yourself by viewing our testimonials, reviews, and Facebook Support Group.
