Enhance Performance

This new tool aims to improve functional performance either before or after a neurological (or other) injury that leaves someone with compromised use of the hand.

Polyform-1H in use

In a clinical setting, we have observed positive results in many categories with the Polyform-1H.

Zero Injuries reported

100% of respondents reported no injuries using the Polyform

Stroke Patient Preference

In a clinical setting, 75% of stroke patients preferred the polyform device and would recommend it to someone they care about.

Robust Challenge

In a Clinical setting, the polyform device was overwhelmingly identified as the more challenging rehabilitation exercise.

Uncoached User Preference

In a clinical setting, users independently chose the polyform device at a 3x higher rate over other hand rehabilitation devices for bimanual therapy.

Why Polyform-1H?

The overwhelming majority of tasks that we use our hands for every day are bimanual challenges - meaning that we need to use both our hands to accomplish them. This includes eating with a fork and knife, using a cell phone, using a computer, driving a car, washing the dishes, taking a shower, opening a jar, playing an instrument, the list goes on.

An untold number of the objects we encounter are non-compressible, meaning that they don’t squish when we squeeze them, and force our hands to perform an isometric grasp - meaning that even though we squeeze harder our fist doesn’t get any tighter. In addition, most of these items are big and bulky.

Existing hand rehab devices are re-hashed, watered-down versions of existing devices created for people who already have full hand function. Current hand rehabilitation devices do not create appropriate challenges to prepare the injured hand for real-world tasks. Polyform-1H does.

Other bimanual devices are designed for clinical and research settings and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Polyform-1H

Polyform -1H

  • The Polyform-1H is a complex, rigid shape that encourages engagement with both hands and mimics the non-compressible characteristics of items encountered in day-to-day living, such as phones, tools, jars, etc.

    The patent-pending design includes a flat, rigid, handle, and a bulbous, angular knob to maximize dexterity-challenge.

  • Polyform-1H aids in recovery and improvement of manual strength and dexterity by potentially increasing neuroplasticity. This tool differs from others by encouraging use of both hands.

    Studies show that bimanual therapy modalities can increase neuroplasticity and improve recovery.

    Other bimanual devices are large, complex computerized and/or robotized machines designed for clinical and research settings, and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars
