Izar™ is intended to rehabilitate hand functions such as dexterous grasp, pinch, and grip, as well as wrist movements in adult patients with hand motor function impairment. This therapy device can be used as a controller for various activities allowing the patient to train within a therapy session and also alone to increase total therapy dose. The device can be used in all the environments the patient navigates; hospital, clinic, private practice, and at home.
An electrically-powered instrument designed to assess neuromuscular function by measuring the force or power exerted by the muscles of the hand/forearm to squeeze/pinch an object. It is used to assess a patient's grip strength in clinical or research settings, typically as part of a rehabilitation program for geriatric patients or those who have suffered a stroke; it may in addition be designed to be used as part of an interactive rehabilitation system whereby forces applied by the patient translate to movements in a video-game. It includes a force transducer to translate force into electrical impulses for measurement.
