The team explains how these FDA Class I medical devices provide active-assistive, game-based training at home to help patients achieve the high repetition doses (500\u2013600 reps per day) needed for neuroplastic change, without replacing traditional therapy. Built on pneumatic \u201cartificial muscle\u201d technology, the devices adapt in real time to the user\u2019s movement, address tone and spasticity, and can be customized for a wide range of neurologic conditions, from stroke and MS to Parkinson\u2019s disease and Guillain-Barr\u00e9. The conversation covers who is appropriate for the devices, how they integrate with inpatient and outpatient care, real-world success stories\u2014including improved gait, grip strength, and mental health\u2014and the practical steps for clinicians to refer patients, arrange demos, and navigate the 13\u2011month rental-to-own DME model now supported by a dedicated Medicare code, which means patients can get the device through their insurance and it does not impact their ability to get other durable medical equipment (DME). Overall, the episode highlights Motus Nova as an accessible way to extend evidence-based neuro rehab beyond the clinic and into patients\u2019 homes.
