FreedomResearchers in physical therapy and rehabilitation science had one goal inmind when they developed this unique home rehabilitation device — improvestroke survivors’ upper body movement and flexibility, so patients can takeback their lives! Restoring movement can open the door to independence.Independence can help your patients achieve simple daily tasks.

� Reading the newspaper

� Getting in and out of the tub

� Playing catch with the grandchildren

� Pushing a grocery cart

� Gardening

� Holding a stair railing

Flexibility“We observed the effect the Tailwind repetitive bilateral training had on

people who have chronic motor impairment following stroke. Our findingssuggest that Tailwind restores upper body movement to stroke survivors.We recommend Tailwind as a therapy for upper extremity rehabilitationfor some stroke survivors.” – Daniel F. Hanley, M.D.

� Improves arm and upper bodymobility

� Helps encourage patients to usetheir affected arm more

� Provides convenience and flexibilityfor patients to exercise more often

� Improvement in arm functionreported in just six weeks

� Proven to work even many yearsafter stroke

� Innovative design inspires patientsto get moving

� Patients receive Time on Taskindependent exercise

� Takes just 30 minutes a day, 3 timesper week

Research supports that repetitive motionwith a rhythmic audio cue helps stimulatethe reconnection of neurotransmitters inthe affected brain tissue.

BATRAC is based on leading researchinto neural plasticity and motor cortexactivation.

Journal of the American Medical Association“Repetitive bilateral arm training and motor cortexactivation in chronic stroke.” Luft A.R., et al.(2004) Randomized control trial using fMRI todocument re-organization in central motornetworks. Individuals who had BATRAC trainingdemonstrated re-organization in contralesionalmotor networks.

Stroke, the Journal of the American HeartAssociation "Repetitive Bilateral Arm Trainingwith Rhythmic Auditory Cueing Improves MotorFunction in Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke.” WhitallJ., et al. (2000) Six weeks of BATRAC use improvedfunctional motor performance as well as changesin isometric strength and range of motion.

Developing clinically proven rehabilitation technologiesfor survivors of stroke and other brain injuries.
