tipstim® is a completely new product to improve sensorimotor abilities of the hand in rehabilitation after brain damage, such as stroke, craniocerebral trauma but even other rare neurological diseases as e.g. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS Type 1). tipstim® was developed in collaboration with the the Institute of Neuroinformatics (Neural Plasticity Lab) at the well-known Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. tipstim® consists of a pulse generator and a hi-tech therapy glove (tipstim® glove). tipstim® is a clinically tested and approved product according to the European Medical Device Directive (MDD). The efficacy and safety of tipstim® therapy has been proven in rigorous clinical trials. None of the study participants showed significant events or side effects.
The therapy itself is completely painless, without side-effects and very easy to apply. You simply pull over the tipstim® glove, connect it to the pulse generator and start the therapy session once a day for 1 hour.
The therapy does not demand any special attention. Due to the small size of the pulse generator, the therapy can easily be integrated into everyday life and home care – even when being limited in mobility. In principle, therapy can be applied everywhere, even during walking and during other occupations such as reading or watching television.
- The tipstim® pulse generator sends special electrical signals to the glove (tipstim® glove).
- These pulses are transmitted to the fingertips via completely new textile electrodes which are woven into tipstim® glove.
- From there, the impulses are carried via nerve pathways directly into brain areas, which are responsible for the sense of touch and the movement of the hand.
- The direct stimulation of these brain areas ensures a reactivation. Moreover, balancing processes in adjacent non-affected brain areas are promoted.
- The result is usually a substantially improved sense of touch as well as an improved mobility of the concerned hand.
