Flexo Extension

Flexo Extension

Product Code: AR10012

The patient puts their forearm into a support that holds it in place. The fingers are connected to the elastics by means of fixings put over the fingers like rings.

A sliding adjustable system makes it possible to keep the optimum 90° angle between the phalanxes and the elastics. The tension in the elastics keeps the fingers’ flexing muscles extended, changing the passive rigidity over time. Exercises can be done with concentric, eccentric and isometric contractions by the flexing muscles.

The supports are chromed metal, while the finger inserts are atoxic imitation leather, and both the length and resistance can be adjusted in each individual finger elastic.

    Ergo Table

    Product Code: AR10006

    Individual work aids can also be used while seated, by using this specific fold-away, wall-mounted table.  This service table works with any other vertical structures available, in terms of materials and aesthetic characteristics, and can be combined with one of them.  The structure is painted metal, while the worktop is in anti-bacterial polyethylene that is water and UV ray resistant and easy to clean.

    The worktop is also shaped to make it more ergonomic for patients in wheelchairs. When not in use the service table can be folded away. It comes with specific hardware. The ERGO TABLE occupational worktop is easy to fold away, to reduce its bulk when not in use.

    Horizontal Spiral

    Product Code: AR10008

    The aid exercises the subject in prone-supine positioning hand movements. Specifically, the subject is asked to keep the ball between the first three fingers on the hand and guide it over the sinusoidal path.  This exercise means that the large prono-supine positioning joints in the forearm are used to the maximum.

    It is therefore useful to monitor the patient’s behaviour while executing this task.  Any incapacity to explore the maximum levels of supine positioning could be compensated for by bending the trunk on one side, while limitation of prone positioning will cause early and excessive movement of the arm away from the trunk.

    Vertical Spiral

    Product Code: AR10009

    An instrument similar to the horizontal spiral, but different in that this exercise calls for greater involvement of the upper limb.

    In addition to prone-supine positioning movements of the forearm on must, in fact, use arm movements that must guide the hand in the twisting movements. The aim of the task is to exercise the upper limb in a complex movement that calls for a good level of skill and fluid movements.

    Oblique Spiral

    Product Code: AR10010

    This aid involves work on the horizontal plane. The elbow bends and extends to reach the curves on the flexible element. Inclined radial / ulnar movements are required to get past them. Positioning on a vertical panel: in this case the instrument lies on the vertical plane.

    This instrument is therefore similar to the vertical spiral, but differs in that positioning it at various heights and working in an upright position, obliges the subject to achieve greater bending and extension of the arm.

    Prone Supination

    Product Code: AR10014

    Positioned on a table: This aid is used to invite and guide the patient through prone supination tasks with their forearm. Two knobs below the equipment are used to position it correctly for the patient.  The proximal support on which the forearm is placed must be adjusted to a height that keeps the shoulder in a comfortable, neutral position.

    By raising and lowering the adjustment element with the elbow flexed, the position is changed to extra/intra rotation of the upper limb respectively. The knob nearest to the handle is used to adjust it to the correct tilt on the prone supination plane, while the upper knob is used to adjust a system that is able to provide resistance to the movement by the patient, which can be varied in intensity. The patient is therefore asked to overcome the resistance offered by the aid, and the extent of that resistance is determined by the therapist in relation to the therapeutic goal.

    Electricity

    Product Code: AR10016

    To activate the switch, the finger must be positioned on the correct half of the button. This task can also be done using two fingers.  To do a rhythmic alternating movement, selectivity is required in  calling on the two fingers to flex in succession.

    Inserting a plug in a socket is a task that calls for attention,  coordination and evaluation of the force to do so safely. The patient must grip the two elements firmly in their hands and  connect them to one another.

    Buckles

    Product Code: AR10021

    Good eye-hand coordination is required to insert the buckle. To tension the parts once inserted, a sub termino-lateral grip is used.  The palm face of the thumb’s rests on the outer face of the first phalanx on the index finger. The muscles that stabilize the grip are the first dorsal interosseous, that acts on the index finger, the short flexor, the first palm interosseous and abductor of the thumb.

    This aid has a clip belt buckle on the one side that can be altered in length, and an end complete with zip that can be opened.  The clip belt buckle also requires good coordination and significant force has to be applied by the thumb, opposing the index finger to clip the fixing device in place.

    Worm Screw

    Product Code: AR10011

    An aid that is useful for a patient to work independently in order to recover joint function between the interfalanx on the finger and prone-supination.

    Executing this task correctly calls for the capacity to open and close the finger, while maintaining a set degree of pronation and supination of the hand. To do this, the subject must combine adequate joint movement and muscular function, with good  coordination of hand movements. The aim is to get to know the fine movements of their hands and how to use them better.

    This aid provides the possibility of making a small adjustment to the resistance to rotating the bar. This has 2 difference diameters, in order to make it more suited to the type of exercise / patient.
