What is Upper Extremity Functional and Intensive Therapy (UFIT)?

Upper Extremity Functional and Intensive Therapy, or UFIT, is a specialized rehabilitation approach designed to target and improve the functional capabilities of the upper extremities, including the arms, shoulders, and hands. This therapy focuses on helping individuals recover from various conditions, such as post-stroke impairments, musculoskeletal injuries, and neurological disorders that affect upper limb function.

The ArmeoSpring Device: Revolutionizing Upper Extremity Rehabilitation

At Foley James D MD, we utilize the cutting-edge ArmeoSpring device to enhance the effectiveness of our UFIT program. The ArmeoSpring is an advanced robotic exoskeleton designed specifically for upper extremity rehabilitation. This innovative device allows for intensive and functional therapy, enabling precise, repetitive, and engaging movements to aid in the recovery process.

How Does the ArmeoSpring Device Work?

The ArmeoSpring device features a dynamic arm weight support system that assists patients in moving their upper extremities. It incorporates interactive games and exercises that target specific muscle groups and functional movements. By combining virtual reality technology with real-time movement tracking, the ArmeoSpring provides an immersive and motivating rehabilitation experience.
