Description

The IpsiHand solution is a post-stroke recovery aid. Its goal is to detect brain signals detected by electroencephalogram (EEG) through a headset. The system then opens and closes the wearable robot, executing the intended movement. This repeated therapy may improve motor functioning by repeatedly reinforcing and strengthening new connections and pathways to healthy parts of the brain.

The IpsiHand training aims to help patients experience benefits long after completing the treatment. Although the training is focused on the hand, the producer reports that training with it can benefit the entire arm.

The Neurolutions website includes more information on the IpsiHand, testimonials, and relevant resources related to living and recovering from a stroke.

Regulatory Update: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has established a new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II code for the IpsiHand Upper Extremity Rehabilitation System, described as “Upper extremity rehabilitation system providing active assistance to facilitate muscle re-education, including microprocessor, all components and accessories.”CMS’ decision also includes a final Medicare benefit category determination, classifying the IpsiHand as Durable Medical Equipment (DME). This classification highlights the IpsiHand’s durability and appropriateness for home use, further emphasizing its role in advancing patient care and recovery outcomes. Source: Neurolutions
