ABOUT US

Torque3 is on a mission to restore lost functionality and independence to people who have suffered a stroke or TBI. By joining the Torque3 team, you will be a part of something much greater than yourself. There are 8 million stroke survivors in the United States alone, and unfortunately, almost 800K new people will be joining that group each year. These people are facing months – even years of rehabilitation, with very little hope of ever getting back more than a fraction of their former lives. The Torque3 platform will help these people - and their families - to become whole again. Find out more at our website: https://www.torque3.com/
