Polyform -1h
-
Polyform-1h is a Bimanual Neurorehabilitation Device for Neuroplasticity and Neuromodulation Therapy. It is scientifically designed for targeting neuromuscular re-education, and network retraining.
Polyform-1h is deployable at scale in the acute setting and can transition seamlessly from hospital to home, following users across their entire span of care.

Polyform-1h aids in recovery and improvement by organic, bilateral brain activation, potentially increasing neuroplasticity. It is specifically designed for bimanual therapy to aid neuromuscular re-education and network retraining, and is designed to be deployable at scale and through the entire span of care, including acutely in hospital settings or for maintenance therapy in a home or outpatient setting.
Studies show that bimanual therapy modalities incorporating neurorehabilitation can increase neuroplasticity and improve performance. This may be for acute recovery, such as in the hospital after a stroke, or enhancing athletic performance for those competing at the highest levels
Other bimanual devices are large, complex computerized and/or robotized machines designed for clinical and research settings, and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Current unimanual neurorehabilitation devices are often powered, computerized devices that are not deployable in the acute setting and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
With Polyform-1h there are no batteries to change, no connectivity issues, no electronics to fail or interfere with implants, and no software failures or upgrades.

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 often 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 neurorehabilitation and neuromodulation devices are unimanual, so they don’t promote active bimanual synergy or bilateral brain activation, and are frequently powered, utilizing complex electronics and software that can fail, costing tens of thousands of dollars. Other bimanual devices are designed for clinical and research settings and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
