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."

Meet Alon

In Hebrew, Alon means "oak." Indeed, Alon Kaplan is a force of nature.

More than a decade ago, he had a massive stroke, which left him in a vegetative state. With rehabilitation equipment of his own design, he taught himself to walk, talk, and live a full life again. He founded AlonTree to share his designs with the world.

Consider the Possible

Alon and his team create equipment with neuroplasticity in mind. Healthy brain tissue can be taught to do the things once controlled by damaged brain cells.

The brain and the body can heal themselves given the right encouragement, the right exercise, and the right equipment.

STORIES FROM A STROKE WARRIOR

How to put on the AlonTwig

By Alon Kaplan | 7:05 pm | 0 Comments

You can put on the AlonTwig elbow brace by yourself quickly and easily. The Twig is designed to be fully adjustable as it helps you manage tone (or spasticity) in your arm. It helps you flex your tricep muscles by forcing your bicep muscles to lie low while it is worn. Start with the Twig…

About what it means to be “handicapped”

By Alon Kaplan | 6:45 pm | 0 Comments

So, Alon and I were talking about what it means to be “handicapped.” This term in itself to me is not derogatory. I have a friend who in her 50’s backpacked the entire Pacific Crest trail, which is over 1,000 miles. On parts of her hike, she had groups of people who joined her. One…

Jumping Far

By Alon Kaplan | 7:42 pm | 0 Comments

Sept 21, 2014: Today, I hesitate before I climb my stairs to go to the bathroom because not long before, I used to be a crippler, and I used to be scared of the staircase wearing my brace and my shoes. Now, I pump out my barefoot going up the stairs and not touching my…

Fairy Stroke

By Alon Kaplan | 6:01 pm | 0 Comments

There is a very ancient and potent charm which may be tried with great effect in case of a suspected fairy-stroke. Place three rows of salt on a table in three lines, three equal measures to each row. The person performing the spell then encloses the rows of salt with his arm. He leans his…

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’…

Neuroplasticity

By Alon Kaplan | 5:26 pm | 0 Comments

In 2008, I had a catastrophic massive stroke in the left hemisphere of my brain due to a car accident. I was 40 years old but I couldn’t talk, write, or access my short-term memory. I couldn’t use the right side of my body. My damaged brain’s map couldn’t access the muscle groups in my…

I have climbed a mountain

By Alon Kaplan | 6:16 pm | 0 Comments

I have climbed a mountain. For someone like me who has survived a stroke, this has meant stepping from “stroke victim”, climbing to “stroke survivor”, and, finally, reaching the summit at “stroke warrior”. My life post-stroke has been an adventurous journey. I have had to shed my victimhood, say goodbye to my doctors, therapists, and…

I don’t need any pity

By Alon Kaplan | 7:17 pm | 0 Comments

When I woke up from my coma, which lasted 6 days, I didn’t need any pity. Sure, I was clueless about my catastrophic massive stroke. However, I didn’t know who I was. I mean. Literally. Who am I? I didn’t know who I am. I didn’t know what place this hospital room was. I didn’t…

Our AlonTree products amplify your natural ability to use your weakened muscles. Even if it has been some time since you tried engaging your atrophied muscles you can begin to strengthen them. I could not walk or talk three years after my stroke. Then I began building my products to help me. Now I dance,…

I can’t find my pinkie

By Alon Kaplan | 4:50 pm | 0 Comments

What’s it like to deal with hand paralysis? This morning, I can’t find my little pinkie in my brain’s map of location. Furthermore, I can’t find my four toes (the big toe is hard to miss).

Two Months Before I Slipped Into a Coma

By Alon Kaplan | 9:10 pm | 0 Comments

In October, 2008, about two months before my coma, I wrote this letter to my old friend. I looked at your photos… you look so happy! Your eyes are on fire. It brought me back to the time you took me to dinner in Boston for my birthday and we spoke about me becoming…

Enter My Childhood Basement

By Alon Kaplan | 9:08 pm | 0 Comments

When I was eight, I’d stand in my basement peering up at the decade calendar which clung to the storage door. I’d calculate the time when I would be a real grown-up. Then, I would stop at 2008. My parents said to me, as a young child, “You better be settled with your life at…

Our Goddess Seamstress

By Alon Kaplan | 6:50 pm | 0 Comments

Now, after my touring twenties, I’ve finally come to a place in my career that I feel happy. My job is flexible, technical, creative and fun. I love what I do. I make patterns and prototypes and I manage the sewing production for AlonTree- a company based out of Asheville NC. While Asheville is not…
