Frequently Asked Questions: Clinicians

  • Inclusion Criteria
    • Diagnosis: Any diagnosis you determine would be able to benefit from repetitive task practice.
    • Time Since Injury: From days to decades post injury or diagnosis.
    • Movement: No active movement to those working on precision movements/fine motor skills.
    • Tone: Flaccid to high tone.
    • Cognition: Game complexity can be graded to fit various cognitive levels. Minimal cognitive requirements: follow basic commands.
    • Size: The Motus Hand and Foot can be adjusted to fit almost any size forearm and foot.
    • Knowledge of Technology: No previous experience with technology needed. Wi-Fi is also not required for usage.
    • Pacemaker: The Motus Hand and Foot do not use electrical stimulation and are therefore safe to use in a patient with a pacemaker.
  • Exclusion Criteria
    • Cannot follow basic commands.
    • Wrist or ankle fusion, or any condition where assisted range of motion is contraindicated.
    • No upper or lower extremity impairments.
    • High likelihood of damaging or losing the equipment.

  • After 3 months of daily use, the Motus Technology resulted in the following outcomes:
    • Increased independence in ADLs.
    • Lower prevalence of depressive symptoms.
    • Statistically and clinically significant improvements in pinch, grip, grasp, and gross motor function.
    • Improved endurance with 6 minute walk test.
    • Substantial meaningful change in 10 meter walk test.
  • To review outcomes from each of our 24 clinical trials, click here.

  • No! The Motus Hand and Foot provide active assistance, so they are not continuous passive motion (CPM) machines.

  • No, we have seen that by targeting these distal joints, there have been significant improvements noted along the kinematic chain of the upper and lower extremities.

  • Yes, the Motus Hand helps with fine motor skills. During the clinical studies, we had users tested on fine motor skills (ex: picking up a paper clip) and they showed clinically and statistically significant improvements.

  • Motus Nova’s technology is designed to ensure comfort and ease of use. If a user experiences any discomfort, they can easily pause the rehab session and release pressure by tapping anywhere on the screen. Each user is paired with a Recovery Coach who provides regular check-ins to ensure the device is used correctly and to adjust settings for optimal comfort. The devices, including the Motus Hand and Motus Foot, are engineered to move the user’s limbs gently and gradually, prioritizing safety and user well-being.

Safe and Effective: Dozens of Scientific Publications and a decade of clinical research

“The Motus Hand provides an effective means to improve upper limb motor function and performance of activities of daily living”

(AOTA, Rosenstein et al. 2008)

“The Motus Hand is an effective adjunct to deliver intensive rehabilitation important in upper limb functional recovery”

(APTA, Kutner et al. 2010)

“When combined with a home exercise program, the Motus Hand provides similar or greater improvements in upper limb function than home exercise alone”

(Linder et al. 2013)

“The Motus Hand improves quality of life and depression symptoms when utilized in the stroke survivor’s home.”

(Wolf et al. 2015)

“Home-based, robotic therapy provided by the Motus Hand reduced costs (65%), while expanding access to a rehabilitation modality for people who would not otherwise have received care.”

(Housley et al. 2016)
