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 400 Configurable Wall Mounted Panel

    Product Code: AR10004

    This is an advanced wall-mounted panel, set up for using a single work aid at a time.  The module is inserted by sliding into place and is locked using a lever device.  The aid can now be easily adjusted in height without any tools or repositioning, making changes and progression possible when completing the same exercise.

    The adjustment system is simple and does not require any force on the part of the therapist. The aid can therefore be adjusted between 54 and 200 cm, at 2.5 cm intervals.  The aid attachment also makes it possible to do the same exercise at a tilt of 0° to 90°, from vertical to horizontal.  The work module can be freely chosen from the modules available.  The structure is metal and is supplied with specific hardware.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Laces

    Product Code: AR10020

    Positioned on a table: In this position the task is made easier than when positioned vertically, due to the fact that the patient is not tired out by having to keep their arms raised and stabilised during the task.

    Positioned on a vertical panel: To do these tasks, applying pressure by opposing endings is essential. This grip is finer and more precise because it makes it possible to hold an object securely. The thumb opposes the pulp side end of the end of the index finger, gripping the lace and the prone supination movements of the forearm, associated with flexing the wrist, make it possible to do the task and threading the lace through the various holes. For both these tasks the side of the hand acts to stabilize the object, and good coordination is essential to complete the tasks.

    Bear in mind that even a minor injury that damages these articular areas can compromise this pincer grip – in fact, complete passive articular control of the distal IF on the second finger is required as well as stability of the deep flexor and synchronized activation of the long flexor in the thumb.  On one side this aid has laces with holes and “eyelets” (closed rings), and on the other laces hooked in an “oblique” direction by chromed hooks, both of which are found on many types of footwear.

    Ladder 10

    Product Code: AR10013

    Positioning on a table: when put up on a horizontal surface in front of the patient, the active work required in using the ladder with the fingers will involve the proximal joints, extending the elbow and flexing the shoulder. In doing this progressive task using their fingers, the patient develops fluidity and coordination, alternating a flexing movement with one finger with the simultaneous extension of the other to reach the next step.

    Positioning on a vertical panel: the ladder is positioned on the same axis as the support module, and is rotated and used vertically. This is particularly useful when you wish to get the shoulder to a greater degree of flexing.

    Positioning on a surface at a variable tilt: the exercise proposed can be useful for teaching the patient to align their trunk correctly, in order to achieve the change in position from seated to standing upright. Patient seated a little away from the table.

    The aid is positioned so that it reaches the furthest reach of the fingers, with the elbow extended. Their centre of gravity is sufficiently in front of them to allow them to lift themselves up.

    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.

    Screwing in Pegs

    Product Code: AR10022

    To do the tasks using this kit, coordinated use of both hands is essential.
    In this way the pressure of the thumb and index finger oppose the pulp side of the palm.  This grip also coordinates the flexing gripping muscles of the first phalanx of the thumb: short flexor, first palm interosseus, and short abductor. The various shapes of the head of the screw varies the degree of ease and stability of the grip.

    There is also a two-handed task, in which one hand acts to secure the screw, while the other is involved in a rotation task to tighten / loosen the bolt.  This aid has 5 different peg head shapes for various levels of difficulty of gripping using the fingers.
