What’s New
February 2021
NOCI is now the exclusive manufacturing and distributing e-commerce supplier of the Toronto Rehab Institute Hand Function Test (TRI-HFT). This collaborative commercial parnership with the KITE Research Institute -UHN, makes the TRI-HFT available for both clinical and industry use. The TRI-HFT is designed to assess upper extremity performance after a stroke or spinal cord injury that has been treated with neuromodulation or tendon/peripheral nerve transfer. Visit the NOCI eStore for purchase and product licensing,
“We designed and developed the TRI Hand Function Test because we discovered that there are no standardized assessment tools available for researchers and clinicians to measure gains in upper extremity function, especially in individuals with spinal cord injury. This is the only tool available on the market that can consistently and reliably measure the change in arm-hand function and is quick to administer and requires no formal training.”
-Naaz Kapadia Desai, The Kite Research Institute at UHN
