Why we know this works

We love SAEBO because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we hear the same fear at nearly every rehab discharge: therapy visits are ending, but the hand is nowhere near done recovering. Can you keep regaining hand function at home after formal therapy ends? Yes, with the right tools and a plan: Saebo's therapist-designed devices support the repetitive, task-specific practice that drives neuroplasticity, and their product selector helps you match a device to your current hand function and recovery goals. The products are built for both clinic and home programs, and we recommend having your OT or PT confirm fit and technique when you start.

This is especially important for stroke survivors and people with other neurological injuries who have some hand movement and are motivated to practice daily. If the hand is essentially paralyzed rather than weak, ask your therapist whether a functional electrical stimulation device like Bioness is a better starting point, since stimulation can activate muscles you cannot yet move on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the SAEBO work?

SAEBO products are specifically designed rehabilitation tools that help individuals recovering from stroke or those with limited hand mobility regain function and strength. These innovative devices use evidence-based therapy techniques to support neuroplasticity and motor recovery through repetitive, task-specific exercises.

Q: Who can benefit from SAEBO products?

SAEBO products are ideal for stroke survivors, individuals with neurological conditions affecting hand function, people with limited mobility in their hands or arms, and anyone undergoing rehabilitation therapy. They're suitable for use in clinical settings, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and home therapy programs.

Q: What makes SAEBO different from other stroke recovery products?

SAEBO stands out through its research-backed approach to neurorehabilitation, focusing on functional movement patterns that promote brain plasticity. The products are designed by occupational therapists and are clinically proven to help restore hand and arm function more effectively than traditional therapy methods alone.

Q: How do I choose the right SAEBO product for my needs?

SAEBO offers a comprehensive product selector tool to help you find the most suitable device based on your specific condition, level of mobility, and recovery goals. The selection process considers factors like your current hand function, therapy objectives, and whether you're working with a healthcare professional.

Q: Can SAEBO products be used at home without a therapist?

While SAEBO products are designed for both clinical and home use, it's recommended to initially work with a qualified occupational or physical therapist to ensure proper technique and maximize benefits. Many products come with detailed instructions and can be safely used for home therapy sessions as part of your rehabilitation program.

Q: How long does it take to see results with SAEBO therapy?

Results vary depending on individual circumstances, severity of condition, and consistency of use. Many users report improvements in hand function and mobility within 4-6 weeks of regular use. The key to success is consistent, daily practice combined with proper technique and realistic goal-setting with your healthcare team.
