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.

    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.

    Latches

    Product Code: AR10015

    A “sliding” latch (element on the left in the photo): due to this instrument’s size, the patient has to have a fine grip using the first three fingers. Also they must associate a small movement in the vertical plane to free the latch and move it along the horizontal plane. The patient can also be asked to do this task without using the visual channel, which means that they must rely on tactile-kinaesthetic information.

    A “turning” handle (shown on the right in the photo): in this case the grip involves control with the thumb and side of the second finger. A supination and pronation rotating force is required to turn the handle.

    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.

    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.

    Cups

    Product Code: AR10018

    In gripping the cup the weight of the object is used because the circumference is supported by the grip formed by the thumb and middle finger, and a hook made up of the index finger. This grip requires excellent thumb and middle finger stability, as well as the integrity of the deep flexor on the index finger and abductor on the thumb, which is essential for this task.

    To grip the cup it is important to have good skill in using flexing/ extending muscles of both the hand and the rest of the upper limb in a harmonious manner, for the reaching and subsequent gripping phases.  You can also work on the patient’s capacity to open their hand to grip / release the cup at various heights.  Common disposable plastic cups can be inserted.

    Tightening Cylinders

    Product Code: AR10024

    The tightening / loosening action involves a three-finger grip in which the thumb is positioned to the side, while the phalanx on the middle finger opposes the index finger.  The role of counterposing the middle finger to the thumb is reinforced by the support that the third finger gets from the fourth and fifth fingers.

    The three different head diameters provide for increasing the complexity of the task. The entire support is made of anti-bacterial polyethylene that is water and UV ray resistant and easy to sterilise.  It has 3 head diameters for varying levels of difficulty in gripping for the hand – wrist. The “heads”, made of polyethylene like the support, can simulate the caps on food jars, a light bulb, gas tap, etc.

    Clips & Buttons

    Product Code: AR10019

    With regards the aid with the four press studs, significant pressure force is required from the tip of the first finger. The Trapeziometacarpal joint must be kept in the most suitable position between the bone ends, by the action of the intrinsic muscles that contract to stabilize the joint.  The aim is to reduce radial dislocation of the metacarpal while applying force with the thumb, because this is a cause of pain for rhizoid arthritis pathologies.

    As regards the task of doing up buttons, greater precision and independent action by each finger is essential.  The thumb uses the pulp part to oppose the index and middle fingers, to tilt the button and push it into the button hole. Incorrect terminal opposition makes this task impossible, due to the shape of the object.  The aid comprises 4 press studs on the one side and 4 buttons like those found on many items of clothing on the other side.

    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.
