May 1, 2008 --- Curatronic Ltd. announced today that it has obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing approval for their new Biomove 5000 Stroke Rehabilitation system.<
The Biomove 5000 offers very clear audiovisual biofeedback information in combination with muscle stimulation to the stroke survivor, making application not only straight forward in clinical settings but also for use by the stroke survivor at home.
The one knob operated full automatic device detects extremely small electrical EMG signals that persist in spastic muscles after a stroke and uses these tiny signals to initiate electrical stimulation impulses to these muscles, resulting in actual muscle movement. In addition to stroke rehabilitation the new device is also well suited for use with patients suffering from muscle paralysis after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), Cerebral Palsy (CP) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
In the more than 700,000 individuals experience a stoke each year. Millions of people suffer from the debilitating effects of stroke. Fifty percent have one-sided paralysis and seek effective treatment for their severe, long-term disabilities.

Curatronic Announces a New Audio Version of the Biomove Stroke Rehab Device
Curatronic has introduced an audio prompting system for its Biomove 3000 stroke rehabilitation device, for home use by stroke survivors.
March 28, 2006 -- Many stroke survivors have their eyesight affected and in some cases, eyesight has deteriorated to the stage where it is difficult to see light indicators. The latest audio addition supports a sound prompting system in addition to the light indicator, improving even further the overall friendliness for use of the Biomove device by the stroke survivor in the comfort of their own home.
The Biomove prompts the user to start a new attempt to move the affected muscles and will be rewarded by actual stimulation of these muscles, when such an attempt by the brain for movement is detected. The audio version makes it now possible to use the Biomove system without the need to look at the device during the stroke rehab therapy. "We are extremely excited to offer stroke survivors this additional benefit for the Biomove stroke rehab system making it even easier for them to utilize the device at home without assistance," commented Ben Philipson, CEO of Curatronic Ltd.
The Biomove 3000 system was specially developed for home therapy by the patient following a stroke. After a stroke, control signals from the brain often cannot reach some muscles, typically in the hand or foot. Without these signals, the level of electrical activity in these muscles is too low for them to contract adequately on their own. This causes them to become increasingly weaker.
The Biomove 3000 system, via three electrode patches placed on arm or leg, detects and amplifies even the slightest signals still being generated in the hand and foot muscles. Then, using an advanced form of biofeedback combined with electrical muscle stimulation the Biomove re-teaches the muscles to contract on their own. FDA 510(k) approval allows the Biomove 3000 to be marketed in the United States, where over 700,000 individuals experience a stroke each year. 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.
In addition Curatronic has been awarded CE certification qualifying the Biomove stroke rehab system for sale throughout the 25-nation European Union ("EU") and four-nation European Free Trade Association ("EFTA").

March 7, 2006 -- Extensive attention was drawn by the action to give away 20 Biomove Stroke Rehab systems to stroke survivors in the US by the manufacturer Curatronic Ltd. in cooperation with their national distributor Amjo Corp.
Attending physicians who tested the device on themselves unilaterally expressed their satisfaction about the straight forward application of the Biomove and ease of use for the stroke survivor at home.
One of the attending neurologists, herself a stroke survivor, succeeded for the first time after 14 years in raising her hand with the help of the Biomove.
Many stroke rehab specialists decided to prescribe this new device to selected patients to enable them to participate in the free Biomove give away action. Further details on the drawing date and the contest details can be found at the www.MyStroke.com website.
Ben Philipson of Curatronic Ltd. said, "We are very encouraged that the Biomove stroke rehab system has enthusiastically been received by the stroke rehab experts during this important event, in addition to the many Biomove users around the world. Many stroke survivors have given us very positive feedback about their progress with this economical, easy- to-use system".

"I have worked with many patients with CVA over the years retraining the functions of the upper reach and grasp and lower extremity stance and gait. I introduce this equipment to my students and hope that they will have it available to use in their clinical work after graduation. The best system I have seen for doing this so far, in terms of ease, adaptability, and simplicity of use, both for the therapist and the patient, is the Biomove 3000," says Prof. Jim Stephens at Temple University. "All you need is a tiny bit of movement - even a finger or toe wiggling - to be a candidate for Biomove therapy," says Prof. Leonard Elbaum at Florida International University.

I found that some patients are able to use EMG feedback very well. This effectiveness was enhanced by addition of electrical stimulation of the contracting muscle to supplement a movement that was already in progress. My clinical experience suggests, as research is beginning to show, that a system of EMG triggered electrical stimulation is an effective means of restoring function. I introduce this equipment to my students and hope that they will have it available to use in their clinical work after graduation.
