ArmAble®

Powered by BeOne®

Game‑Based Upper‑Limb Rehabilitation Device

Clinically validated, AI‑powered therapy that turns repetitive upper‑limb exercises into engaging games for stroke, brain injury, paediatric and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Schedule an ArmAble Demo

  • High‑intensity, bilateral upper‑limb training that supports neuroplasticity and functional recovery.

  • Game‑based sessions that keep patients motivated for longer, often delivering 400–600+ purposeful repetitions per session in routine clinical use.

  • Data‑driven insights through the BeOne software ecosystem for therapists, doctors and clinical teams.

ArmAble is a game-based bilateral passive therapy device that augments active movements in patients. 

Performing high-repetitions and high-intensity active exercises with ArmAble, assists the brain to rewire itself thus helping build new neural connections in the brain as a result of neuroplasticity.

What is ArmAble®?

ArmAble® is an interactive, game‑based upper‑limb rehabilitation device designed to deliver intensive, repetitive and task‑oriented therapy in a highly engaging format. It combines custom hardware, multiple interchangeable handles and the BeOne® software platform to support active, assisted and bilateral training across a wide spectrum of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

ArmAble® is a clinically validated medical device created at the Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship (CfHE), IIT Hyderabad, to address the global need for engaging, high‑dose upper‑limb rehabilitation after stroke and other neurological injuries.

How ArmAble® Works

Assess & Configure

Therapists assess the patient’s range of motion, strength, tone and functional goals, then choose the appropriate handle (bilateral bar, spherical, mug handle, etc.), seating or standing position and game profiles in BeOne.

Play‑Driven Therapy

Patients perform targeted reaching, grasping and functional arm movements by playing culturally familiar games such as swatting mosquitoes, making dosas, rolling chapatis or plucking fruits. Each game has multiple levels so therapists can progressively challenge speed, precision and endurance.

Review Data & Progress

ArmAble logs kinematic data and performance metrics, which BeOne visualises as repetitions, accuracy, speed and session trends over time. Therapists and clinicians use these insights to adapt therapy plans and share progress with patients and caregivers.

Key Features

  • Game‑based bilateral therapy for intensive active and active‑assisted exercises that stimulate neuroplasticity and functional gains.

  • AI‑assisted adaptive difficulty that automatically adjusts game levels and targets to match each patient’s performance in real time.

  • Multiple therapeutic handles to train different grips and joint movements, including bilateral elbow extension and diverse wrist and hand patterns.

  • High‑repetition capability (commonly 400–600+ repetitions per session) delivering higher therapy doses without increasing therapist fatigue.

  • Deep BeOne® integration for patient management, real‑time feedback and objective progress reports across sessions and episodes of care.

  • Tele‑rehab ready architecture to support supervised home‑based programmes and remote monitoring where protocols and regulations allow.

Engaging patients in interactive and immersive games, allowing them to perform Self-Driven Active Exercises using Bilateral Therapy. The engaging games also helps perform higher number of repetitions, which helps promote neuroplasticity, and create new connections in the brain. The progress data helps motivate patients and empower therapist to alter the course of therapy by looking at data and visualizing even the smallest of improvements.

Clinical Evidence & Outcomes

  • A multi‑centre randomized clinical trial on a game‑based upper‑limb rehab device showed significantly better functional gains with ArmAble compared to conventional therapy alone, including higher recovery percentages and greater improvements on standard stroke scales.

  • ArmAble has been deployed in more than 50 hospitals and rehabilitation centres across India, delivering tens of thousands of therapy sessions for thousands of patients.

  • It is used by leading institutions such as NIMS, Hamsa Rehab, Ramaiah and Mission Rehab, with clinicians reporting improved engagement and measurable outcomes.

FAQs

ArmAble® combines intensive, task‑oriented upper‑limb exercises with engaging games and real‑time feedback. Therapists can deliver far more repetitions per session while still maintaining proper movement quality and patient motivation.

ArmAble® is designed for supervised use with patients who have medical clearance for active or active‑assisted movement, including stroke, brain injury, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, musculoskeletal shoulder and elbow conditions and age‑related weakness. Therapists always decide suitability and starting parameters.

No. ArmAble® is a professional tool that amplifies what therapists do. It makes sessions more engaging and measurable, but therapists still design programmes, supervise posture and safety and interpret the data.

Most centres use ArmAble® for 20–45 minute sessions, depending on patient endurance and goals. Within that time, patients can perform hundreds of purposeful repetitions with built‑in rest breaks.

Yes. Many paediatric centres use ArmAble® because the game‑based format improves attention and participation. Therapists select age‑appropriate games and handles and adjust difficulty to match each child’s abilities.

ArmAble® is primarily designed for clinics and hospitals. Home‑based use is possible under specific programmes where therapists can train caregivers, prescribe safe protocols and periodically review data through BeOne.
