  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
