Rehab-robot project clinches accolade for patient care

It can feel a bit tingly when Bioness touches your hand. For she will send electrical pulses to your forearms. Bioness does that for a reason - it is a rehabilitation robot that helps post-stroke patients strengthen the use of their hands, such as to grasp and release a slice of bread, speeding up their recovery. With the robotic automation, we see 20 per cent more improvement in the upper limb functions of patients than those who undergo conventional treatment. We can also serve 20 per cent more patients.
