Trials of the Able-X system conducted at the Otago School of Medicine (published July 2009) have shown a significant improvement in upper limb functioning (Fugl-Meyer Assessment) after less than 10 hours of exercise. (Download the publication.)
The product was formally tested on chronic stroke patients (13 months to 7 years) at Otago School of Medicine and all 14 users gained benefits, some more than others. These include: ability to use both hands on steering wheel; ability to tie shoelaces; eat with both hands; better control in shower; better body balance; more control of wheelchair. Users were assessed before the trial and after the trial of 10 sessions (1 hour each).
