“A pneumatic muscle hand therapy device”































The development of a pneumatic muscle driven hand therapy device, the Mentor trade mark, reinforces the need for volitional activation
of joint movement while concurrently offering knowledge of results about range of motion, muscle activity or resistance to movement.
Koeneman et al. 2004

































“Design of a robotic upper extremity repetitive therapy device.”































The development of a pneumatic muscle (PM) driven therapeutic device, the RUPERT™, has the potential of providing a low cost and
safe take-home method of supplementing therapy in addition to in the clinic treatment.
Koeneman et al. 2005






“Home-based robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation for chronic stroke survivors.”































This study provides preliminary evidence that home-based rehabilitation provided by the Foot Mentor is a viable alternative for the treatment of distal lower extremity dysfunction in chronic stroke survivors.
Lynskey et al. 2014






“Increasing Access to Cost Effective Home-Based Rehabilitation for Rural Veteran Stroke Survivors”































Home-based, robotic therapy provided by the Hand Mentor reduced costs (65%), while expanding access to a rehabilitation modality for people who would not otherwise have received care. Those who participated made clinically meaningful improvements in the use of their impaired extremities using a robotic device in the home.
Housley et al. 2016










“Expanding stroke telerehabilitation services to rural veterans: qualitative study on patient experiences using the robotic stroke therapy delivery and monitoring system program”































The Hand Mentor provides a valuable rehabilitation option for extending current treatment or maintaining rehabilitation when benefits are exhausted.
Cherry et al. 2015
