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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Handles

    Product Code: AR10017

    Made up of a window handle (180° rotation about a central pin) and door handle (90° rotation about a pin to one side).

    Depending on how the aid is positioned on the wall panel, the latter can be used with the right or left hand.
