Techcare HANDBOT and FIBOD: Modern Tools Supporting Clinical Precision
Techcare Hand Robot (HANDBOT): Rebuilding Hand Function Through Robotic Assistance
Techcare Hand Robot (HANDBOT) is a robotic-assisted hand rehabilitation glove designed to support patients experiencing impaired hand movement, weakness, or loss of functional control. Equipped with built-in actuators, the HANDBOT provides assistive opening and closing of the fingers, helping patients perform repetitive hand movements essential for neuroplasticity and motor relearning.
The glove is used for conditions such as stroke-related upper-limb weakness, peripheral nerve injuries, tendon repairs, hand fractures, and post-immobilisation stiffness. By guiding the hand through safe, controlled movement patterns, the HANDBOT reduces compensations, prevents stiffness, and promotes correct motor activation.
Therapists benefit from its ability to deliver high-repetition functional training, which is critical in neurological and orthopaedic recovery. Patients perform grasping tasks, pinching exercises, and controlled release activities, movements needed for daily tasks such as holding utensils, writing, or gripping household objects. The HANDBOT ensures consistency and intensity in therapy sessions, supporting measurable functional improvements over time.

Techcare FIBOD – Digital Balance System: Enhancing Stability Through Data-Driven Balance Training
Techcare FIBOD – Digital Balance System is a digital balance and postural stability assessment system designed to measure sway, balance performance, and postural control with high precision. Built with a smart motion sensor and a sturdy balance platform, the system captures pitch and roll movement patterns, providing real-time visual feedback and quantitative data for therapists to assess balance deficits accurately.
The system is used for neurological rehabilitation, including stroke and cerebellar conditions, as well as orthopaedic recovery following lower-limb surgery or injuries such as ACL tears or ankle sprains. FIBOD is also valuable in geriatric rehabilitation to support fall-prevention programmes, helping older adults regain confidence and stability during walking, standing, and daily activities.
By providing measurable outcomes and structured balance exercises, FIBOD empowers therapists to personalise balance training according to each patient’s functional capacity and progress.

“The Techcare HANDBOT enables more efficient hand training, further improving upper-limb recovery. Meanwhile, the FIBOD system enhances patient motivation by providing real-time visual feedback and interactive games that make balance training more engaging. Together, these tools complement our therapists’ work and enrich the overall rehabilitation experience for our patients,” said Mr. Lim, Head of Rehabilitation, Subang Jaya Medical Centre.
How Patients Benefit from Techcare HANDBOT and FIBOD
Benefits of Techcare Hand Robot (HANDBOT)
-
Supports neuroplasticity for stroke patients
Stroke survivors regain hand function through repetitive assistive movements that stimulate neural pathways essential for recovery.
-
Improves strength and control after orthopaedic injuries
Patients recovering from fractures, tendon repairs, or prolonged immobilisation benefit from guided hand movements that rebuild strength and restore normal hand mechanics.
-
Provides safe movement support for nerve-related conditions
Individuals with radial nerve palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or peripheral nerve damage experience improved grip and finger movement through safe robotic assistance.
-
Enhances ability to perform daily hand tasks
Patients relearn tasks such as gripping utensils, holding cups, and manipulating objects, supporting independence in daily living.
-
Encourages engagement through interactive functional training
Adults and older adults maintain motivation in therapy with task-oriented exercises that feel purposeful and achievable.
-
Delivers measurable progress for personalised therapy
The HANDBOT enables therapists to monitor improvements in strength, control, and movement quality for more targeted treatment plans.
Benefits of Techcare FIBOD – Digital Balance System
-
Provides balance assessment for neurological patients
Stroke survivors and individuals with vestibular disorders benefit from measurement of sway and stability, enabling therapists to identify specific areas of difficulty.
-
Supports lower-limb recovery after orthopaedic surgery
Patients recovering from total knee replacements, ACL reconstruction, or ankle ligament repair gain improved stability and proprioception through targeted balance retraining.
-
Improves fall-prevention outcomes for geriatric patients
Older adults build confidence and postural control with structured balance exercises designed to reduce fall risk.
-
Enhances body awareness and movement control
Individuals with gait instability or chronic balance problems learn to understand and correct their weight distribution through real-time visual feedback.
-
Creates a safe and controlled training environment
Post-surgical patients engage in graded balance activities that promote safe movement progression while avoiding excessive strain.
-
Supports personalised rehabilitation through measurable data
Therapists design targeted interventions using objective motion metrics that reflect the patient’s balance capabilities and progress.
