The Tutor System as a Long Term Rehabilitation Device

In an article written by D. Shaun Gray of the University of Alberta, Canada he states that the severely traumatic brain injured patient may have a prolonged recovery. Therefore because of this disadvantage the TBI patient may not be a candidate for typical rehabilitation programs. Further research shows that indeed these kinds of patients are capable of significant improvement but over a period of months to years. Further it shows that rehabilitation reduces long term costs of care. Obviously further research is needed to discover the effectiveness of current programs that specialize in these kind of rehabilitation programs.
The TUTOR system is one of the best tools in physical rehabilitation recovery to allow for a paced improvement and is one of the most cost effective medical devices to have been created recently. The TUTORs (HANDTUTOR, ARMTUTOR, LEGTUTOR and 3DTUTOR) are gloves or braces that are placed strategically on various parts of the body and through the use of dedicated software allow the TBI patient to receive intensive exercises that are customized to his particular level of capability. A physical therapist (PT) or Occupational therapist (OT) assists the patient to initiate and monitor the program that the patient himself is challenged with. The pace of exercise can be flexible to suit the capabilities of the patient.
Currently in use in leading hospitals and clinics throughout the U.S. and Europe the TUTORs are capable of being used at home when the patient recovers sufficiently through telerehabilitation. The TUTORS are certified by the FDA and CE.
