Hashmonaim, Israel (PRWEB) August 31, 2005
- Curatronic Ltd. announced today that it has obtained CE certification for the Biomove 3000 Stroke Rehabilitation system, which has been received extremely well by health professionals and patients throughout the US.
The Biomove 3000 system was specifically developed for home therapy following a stroke. The highly affordable battery-powered device detects extremely small electrical EMG signals that persist in paralyzed muscles after a stroke and uses these tiny signals to initiate an electrical stimulation impulse to the muscles, resulting in actual muscle movement by the patient.
Millions of people suffer from the debilitating effects of stroke. Fifty percent have some one-sided paralysis and seek effective treatment for their severe, long-term disabilities. FDA 510(k) approval allows Biomove 3000 to be marketed in the United States, where over 700,000 individuals experience a stroke each year. CE certification allows marketing throughout Europe where over one million new stroke survivors are added yearly.
Ben Philipson, President of Curatronic Ltd. said, "We are delighted to have received CE certification in addition to US FDA approval for the Biomove 3000 system, which enables us to reach the many stroke victims with our economical, easy-to-use system.
