  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
