Dexta - Device for Motor Skills Rehabilitation
Dexta aims to increase rehabilitation accessibility for patients recovering from strokes and neurological disorders with a primary focus on enhancing motor skills and muscle strength. Intelligent features streamline the rehabilitation process, while dynamic controllers intensify challenges to meet individual patient needs.
Along with its companion app, Dexta provides an extensive array of options for motor and movement function rehabilitation. Patients can participate in exercises tailored to refine both fine motor skills and overall muscle strength, complemented by intelligent features that streamline and enrich the rehabilitation process.
The modular controllers are equipped with rotating elements for dynamic movements, and their resistance is adaptable to the patient’s progress, gradually intensifying challenges as the patient’s physical capabilities advance. Additionally, the controllers incorporate haptic feedback, a feature that can be leveraged to enhance sensory abilities as required. Together, these capabilities offer the chance to customise exercises according to the individual needs of each patient.
