Motus Nova is a medical technology company focused on improving access to high-quality neurorehabilitation for individuals recovering from stroke and other neurological conditions. The company develops and provides at-home rehabilitation solutions designed to help patients regain motor function through consistent, repetitive, and engaging therapy.
At the core of Motus Nova’s approach is the understanding of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections through repetition and task-specific practice. Traditional therapy models often limit the number of therapy hours a patient can access due to cost, availability, and logistical constraints. Motus Nova addresses this gap by enabling patients to complete significantly more repetitions independently at home, which is critical for maximizing recovery outcomes.
Motus Nova offers two primary devices: the Motus Hand and the Motus Foot. These are FDA Class I, active-assisted robotic rehabilitation devices that support movement in the upper and lower extremities. The devices are designed to assist patients in performing functional movements even when they have limited voluntary control, helping reinforce proper movement patterns and reduce compensatory strategies.
A key differentiator of Motus Nova’s technology is its gamified therapy platform. Patients engage in interactive, game-based exercises that are designed to promote motivation, adherence, and consistency. This approach helps make therapy more enjoyable while encouraging the high repetition counts necessary for meaningful neurological recovery.
In addition to the technology, Motus Nova provides ongoing support through Recovery Coaches who guide patients throughout their rehabilitation journey. These coaches help ensure proper device use, monitor progress, and provide accountability and encouragement, helping patients stay engaged with their therapy over time.
Motus Nova works with patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers to integrate its solutions into broader care plans. The goal is not to replace traditional therapy, but to extend it—allowing patients to continue making progress outside of the clinic and beyond standard therapy sessions.
Overall, Motus Nova is focused on bridging gaps in the current healthcare system by delivering accessible, effective, and scalable rehabilitation solutions that empower patients to take an active role in their recovery.
