ManovoSpring


The ManovoSpring was specifically designed for the training of grasping and releasing movements in patients with neurological disorders.
The adjustable spring mechanism of the ManovoSpring was developed to counteract the high tone of the flexor muscles and the weakness
of the extensor muscles.

In each stage of hand opening it brings in a physiologic amount of force needed to open the hand while coupling finger and thumb movements.
Thereby, also patients who show only limited active movement in their fingers can participate in intense, repetitive movement exercises.

The advantages of the ArmeoSpring therapy with the ManovoSpring are:

  • Easy installation and swapping between left and right hand use.
  • Simultaneous therapy of the complete movement chain from the shoulder to the fingers.
  • Adjustable support for opening of the hand with a physiological coupling of finger and thumb movements.
  • Captures the patient’s active hand movements and facilitates reach and retrieval training with the Augmented Performance Feedback.


In pilot trials with the research prototypes of the ManovoSpring (HandSOME device) stroke patients showed a large increase in range of motion in opening and closing of the hand (see graph) as well as an increased ability for functional grasping of objects (Brokaw et al. 2011)
