TOOLS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

We've Been There

All of our products are designed out of experience, not in a lab. Alon and his family have walked in your shoes, literally! We are deeply familiar with what you need when you're recovering from a stroke.

Better Together

AlonTree equipment is modular in its design. You can combine elements to get just the support you need. Or combine several pieces of equipment to add interest and enhance your workout.

Affordable

Our simple technology approach means you get affordable and effective equipment. We strive to fill the gap in recovery left by the limits of insurance, Medicare payouts, and out-of-pocket expenses for rehabilitation.

Sustainable

We are dedicated to building a company that's good for our community and for our environment. Sustainability is an important factor in our selection of materials and partners. As we scale up, we'll be looking for even more ways to source responsibly.

Once a survivor. Now a warrior.

“Wearing the AlonTwig helps reduce the spastic reaction in my hand. I estimate a 50% reduction in the spastic reflex.”

Art Jensen - Vista, CA

“Wearing the splint feels great and awesome when it’s on. It makes me feel like I have more control over my arm and it supports my movement. I like it a LOT!!”

Amanda Levesque - Asheville, NC

“When she has worn it for 5-6 hours her skin integrity is good. There is no redness or soreness. She also reports that her arm feels much more relaxed for days.”

Lynda Letourneau, Occupational Therapist R/L

“I love my AlonGlove. It’s the most comfortable splint ever."

STORIES FROM A STROKE WARRIOR

Karmic laws

By Alon Kaplan | 4:59 pm | 0 Comments

Karma is the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words, and deeds. Before my stroke, I had a holier-than-thou attitude regarding my religion, physical strength, and intellectual prowess. However, as I laid in my hospital bed I realized my blood clot had stripped me of everything,…

I went into a coma at the exact time Betty Page went into a coma

By Alon Kaplan | 12:47 pm | 0 Comments

I went into a coma at the exact time Betty Page, the famous American pin-up model, went into a coma. I survived, but she didn’t. My car accident happened August 14, 2008. Okay. So, while driving along I-40 with my daughters in the car I had a seizure and I fainted. The date? August 14,…

A damaged brain? A neuron doesn’t fire its charge of electrons at another axon

By Alon Kaplan | 7:25 pm | 0 Comments

It’s not uncommon for “normal” people without a damaged brain to have difficulty with word retrieval. There are several phrases for this such as Deja-vu, tip-of-the-tongue, and stuttering. Dr. Karin Humphreys, of Canada’s McMaster University, states “the more we think about the missing word, as we are inclined to do, the more it eludes…

Alon Kaplan, founder of AlonTree Company, before and after his stroke.

Before and after my stroke

By Alon Kaplan | 11:18 pm | 2 Comments

Before I had the stroke, I cleaned, gardened, cooked, and did the laundry. I played with my daughters, nursed them back to health when they were sick, took them to school in the morning, and picked them up from school in the afternoon. I was the “assistant director” for my daughters; always at my daughters’…

Stroke

By Alon Kaplan | 4:12 pm

Your brain is a command center issuing commands to the army (your body). Imagine that some terrorists blew out one room, maybe three, with a grenade. Now imagine those “terrorists” are the blood clot. The “grenade” is the damage done by the blood clot to your host of neuron cells. No one has an answer…

Just imagine what the nurses are going through…

I just went to my afternoon walk. I put on my mask and away I went on two miles of bumpy pavements, uphills & downhills. Ashevillians walking around on the Main Street. Nothing protecting them just bare skin. One of them could have been the silent carrier. I thought to myself, how the hell are…

Fisher Price People

By Alon Kaplan | 10:37 am | 0 Comments

Years ago, my occupational therapists would say I was using my affected arm and hand during my therapy sessions. However, my therapists were actually using facilitated communication to help me use my affected arm and hand. Medicare insurance paid for a S****Retch. What a disappointment! My unaffected hand did 99.99% of the work with the…

I had a very bad setback

By Alon Kaplan | 4:57 am | 0 Comments

Alon struggled with a setback in stroke recovery while traveling. I had a very bad set back on January 2, 2017 in New York City. My middle daughter and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We walked through every room at the museum, some even twice. The killer was the stairs. My affected…

I Am a New World Monkey

By Alon Kaplan | 7:04 pm | 0 Comments

My baby fingers grasp my fisher price animals. A New World monkey doesn’t use her thumbs. Unlike humans and most Old World monkeys, their thumbs are not opposable. A human baby would eat from her fingers. The thumbs show up after she mastered eating with her fingers. New world monkeys Thumb orientation lies in line…

The child with cerebral palsy and me

By Alon Kaplan | 5:24 pm | 0 Comments

On Tuesday, I was sitting inside the San Antonio airport terminal. A little girl with cerebral palsy walked by with her family. She was pushing her four-wheeled posture control walker* as she crossed the aisle in the terminal. The little girl made a beeline right towards me and put her arms around me. She hugged…

Twenty Years Before I Discovered my Aphasia, I researched an Essay on Global Aphasia

By Alon Kaplan | 1:56 pm | 0 Comments

On December 8, 2008, I was unconscious. I lay there in the ICU in a medical coma. The brain surgeon was completely exhausted He wept to my parents, “He had a fist-sized blood clot in his left hemisphere of his brain. What we’re seeing is a catastrophic massive stroke”. He was carefully pointing out that…

Alon Kaplan – I had a Stroke

By Alon Kaplan | 10:35 am | 0 Comments

Six years ago, I had a car accident. My seat belt ruptured my artery. And a blood clot went up the artery into my brain. A couple of months after that, I had a stroke. The doctors put me in a medical coma. When I came out of the coma I couldn’t remember my name.…
