Gloreha Delivers Comprehensive Solution for Upper Limb Rehabilitation

The Gloreha range of rehabilitation products, designed for use in hospitals and at home, offer flexible tools for therapists and patients for any stage of upper limb rehabilitation.

Gloreha rehabilitation products offer a diverse range of options for every stage of rehabilitation. Gloreha Sinfonia, a revolutionary glove designed for rehabilitation of the upper limbs, combines a variety of innovative features to deliver active-assisted therapeutic exercises, functional exercises, task oriented activities, and interaction with real objects for patients with upper limb impairments. It can be used to treat any hand deficiency. Light and comfortable, the glove mobilizes finger joints and encourages patients to follow exercises through 3D animation on the screen.

The Gloreha glove uses sensors and two dynamic arm supports to provide gravity compensation for the affected arm, while simultaneously giving patients the freedom to move the arm freely. The glove also enables patients to perform bilateral exercises, with their healthy hand driving the affected hand. The cognitive feedback, various visual and sound effects, 3D animation and a range of interactive games keep patients engaged in the therapeutic tasks, stimulating neurocognitive recovery.

Clinical studies have shown that the Gloreha glove delivers a variety of benefits. The rehabilitation device has been proven successful at improving functional independence in stroke, increasing grip and pinch strength in neurological patients, improving active movement, coordination and dexterity, decreasing or preventing hypertonia, reducing reaction time and decreasing patients' perception of stiffness and pain in the upper limb.

Gloreha Professional, a rehabilitation tool for use in hospitals and rehabilitation centres, uses the ergonomic glove to offer treatment for a number of patients every day with minimal supervision. The system has been successful both with neurological and orthopedic patients at rehabilitation centres in Italy and worldwide.

Gloreha Workstation, which includes the Gloreha Professional, offers a complete solution for arm rehabilitation, with a set of gloves, braces, dynamic supports and accessories for finger mobilization. The user-friendly touch screen PC engages the patient in exercises, while an ergonomic table facilitates therapy for wheelchair users.

Gloreha Lite, developed for home use, allows patients to continue their treatment after leaving the hospital. The system uses a smaller device and easily connects with the patient's PC to deliver therapy, enabling patients to maintain and enhance the clinical improvements.

Gloreha DAS (Dynamic Arm Support) is a lightweight system that offers weight compensation in arm rehabilitation, enabling patients to perform functional exercises and supporting their movements in every direction. Combined with the Gloreha glove, the system makes therapy more engaging and effective.

Gloreha products were developed by Idrogenet, a group of 11 small and medium enterprises based in Lumezzane, Italy. Idrogenet was founded to compete in innovative markets and leverage a long manufacturing history in mechanics and electronics to develop cutting edge rehabilitation technologies.
