Introducing Tailwind
Here you can learn about Tailwind™, a unique device that clinical studies have
demonstrated can permanently improve arm movement in stroke patients who
have lost upper extremity function - even years after their stroke event. The device is also helpful in improving arm function following brain injury, tumor and cerebral palsy. Tailwind is
a home-based exercise device developed by researchers at
the University of Maryland Medical School.
Effective for Stroke Survivors
Tailwind consists of two handles that move along independent
resistance-free tracks. The user moves the handles along each track
from different starting marks - and has auditory cues to guide when to
move his or
her arms. It is a "sound-to-brain" neural pathway retraining approach
that is theorised to help users with mild stroke symptoms achieve
life-altering results.
First of a Kind for Stroke
Tailwind has been demonstrated in clinical studies to permanently improve arm movement in stroke patients who have lost upper extremity function. In published
clinical studies, the science behind Tailwind was found to be a potentially useful solution in stroke rehabilitation.
So don't let discouragement from years of rehab that did not deliver the results you wanted prevent you from trying new Tailwind. If you have the motivation
to work with this device, research suggests it will work for you.

For more information about the science behind the Tailwind, please read about the clinical trials on this site. The product launches in the UK in June,
Tailwind (BATRAC) Related Research Studies
The following studies are relevant to Tailwind (BATRAC) and therefore to stroke survivors interested in improving arm and shoulder movement, but were not conducted with the specific purpose of validating the technique.
Tailwind (BATRAC) Research Studies
We would like you to know that there are a number of research studies that have investigated the effectiveness of the BATRAC (Bilateral Arm Training with Rhythmic Auditory Cueing) method of exercising arm function for stroke survivors. You will find some details below. Now you know why we call the product implementing this exercise method - TailWind. Tailwind takes the principles of BATRAC and implements them in a consumer friendly, well engineered product that you can take home and use.
