A History of Occupational and Physical Therapy Innovation
Cutting-edge treatment and evaluation devices for truly functional rehabilitation
We believe there’s no better way to train and test the body than with real-life movements. Our products help PT and OT professionals replicate virtually any functional task in a way that’s objective, repeatable, and customized for each patient’s needs.
The power of objective clinical data
No more guesswork. Base clinical decisions on precise and accurate measurements. Objective data means better safety, indisputable proof of progress, higher engagement, and better outcomes for all.
