We all were quite delighted to receive the Most Impactful device award, and a big kudos to the other winners and the other participants. IRegained®’s goal is to help individuals with hand function disability reclaim their independence and thereby their lives. The MyHand® System is a focused and comprehensive tool for clinicians to help with hand function rehabilitation at a granular level. This allows clinicians to focus on function centric rehabilitation for those affected by neurological, neuromuscular and/or musculoskeletal disorders and/or injuries.

The MyHand® System was designed to redefine hand function rehabilitation. The device offers provisions to train muscle by muscle, finger by finger or function by function.
