This is great making rehabilitation for those who have had a stroke portable. In the video he mentions teaching hospitals using devices to help that are not portable, and I covered that a short while back as there’s a clinical study going on at UCI here in southern California with such a device.
There’s also another device made by a company by the name of Saebo with similar efforts. Great news for those after having a stroke with new ways and technology to regain use of their arms and hands!
