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
No batteries to change!
No electronics to fail or interfere with implants!
No software to upgrade!

Did you know that…
Good hand function is associated with:
improved cognition, memory and mood?
reduced falls?
increased overall brain health?
overall higher athletic performance?
Why Polyform-1H?
Whether your goal is regaining function or achieving peak performance - both cognitive and athletic - Polyform-1H should be part of your daily routine.
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.
