MICROSOFT KINECT’S BEEN CLEARED FOR PRESCRIPTION THANKS TO JINTRONIX

Jintronix provides the first gamified Rehabilitation Software for Clinics and Home Users.

Nowadays, having a stroke or being injured is relatively widespread. Unfortunately, recovering from these situations is still a long and tiresome road. Most of the time, being in physical rehabilitation means surpassing yourself, being exhausted and keeping motivated.

Jintronix studied all the movements that are essential for your rehabilitation and also entertaining at the same time. The Full body games concept emerged naturally. Activities that are entertaining are easier on patients, physically and mentally. That’s why FDA gave its approval to the Jintronix rehabilitation system. This FDA clearance is the first time that Microsoft Kinect has been approved for use directly by patients in a healthcare setting.

“The motion tracking, visual feedback and flexible platform of the Kinect make it ideal for providing immediate feedback for physical therapy patients. This new system combines game development theory with common physical exercises to provide patients an optimal rehabilitation experience.“

Moreover, Jintronix’s telerehabilitation platform allows clinicians to assign new exercises and to check how the patients are progressing.
