NeckCare Home adds two remote neck rehab exercises

By AI, Created 5:03 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – NeckCare has added two new exercises to its camera-powered NeckCare Home platform, giving clinicians more options to prescribe and monitor neck rehabilitation between office visits. The update adds a sensorimotor training game and the platform’s first mobility exercise.

Why it matters: - NeckCare Home is built to extend neck rehabilitation beyond the clinic without extra hardware. - The new exercises give clinicians more ways to tailor home programs and track patient activity between visits. - The update could help patients stay engaged with care while reducing friction for providers working in existing workflows.

What happened: - NeckCare added two new exercises, “Maze” and “Move and Hold,” to NeckCare Home, its camera-powered remote neck rehabilitation platform. - The company announced the update on May 18, 2026. - NeckCare Home runs in a browser on laptops, tablets and smartphones using a standard camera. - Patients can complete prescribed exercises at home on a personal device with no additional hardware.

The details: - “Maze” is designed to challenge sensorimotor control. - The exercise focuses on movement sense, oculomotor control and eye-head coordination. - Patients steer a dot through maze patterns using head movements at a self-selected speed. - Maze includes three difficulty levels for progression and regression. - Maze also includes a Zig-Zag pattern commonly used in clinical settings for movement sense assessment and training. - “Move and Hold” is a mobility-focused exercise designed to improve range of motion. - The exercise guides users into end-range positions and asks them to hold the position for a predetermined duration. - Move and Hold is the first mobility exercise available to NeckCare Home users. - Clinicians can use Move and Hold as a standalone mobility exercise or as a warm-up before a sensorimotor control session. - NeckCare Home fits into existing clinical workflows. - Clinicians can enroll patients by email, prescribe exercises and review logged activity in the NeckCare dashboard. - The platform also supports Remote Therapeutic Monitoring workflows for eligible use cases. - Patients seeking care can fill out a form to be matched with a NeckCare provider.

Between the lines: - The release points to a push to make home rehab more engaging through gamified exercise design. - The addition of a mobility exercise broadens NeckCare Home beyond sensorimotor training and gives the platform a more complete therapy menu. - The workflow language suggests NeckCare is positioning the product for adoption by clinics that want remote monitoring without changing how they already manage patients. - “Clinicians need practical ways to extend care beyond the clinic without adding unnecessary complexity,” said Elvar Leonardsson, clinical lead at NeckCare. - Leonardsson said the new exercises give providers more robust tools to help patients stay engaged between visits.

What’s next: - NeckCare will likely use the new exercises to deepen adoption among clinics using remote rehabilitation and monitoring. - Patients interested in care can submit the provider-match form now. - The company could continue expanding the exercise library to cover more rehab needs.

The bottom line: - NeckCare Home is adding more variety and clinical flexibility as remote neck rehabilitation moves further into everyday care.
