Worm Screw

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.

    Ergo Table

    Product Code: AR10006

    Individual work aids can also be used while seated, by using this specific fold-away, wall-mounted table.  This service table works with any other vertical structures available, in terms of materials and aesthetic characteristics, and can be combined with one of them.  The structure is painted metal, while the worktop is in anti-bacterial polyethylene that is water and UV ray resistant and easy to clean.

    The worktop is also shaped to make it more ergonomic for patients in wheelchairs. When not in use the service table can be folded away. It comes with specific hardware. The ERGO TABLE occupational worktop is easy to fold away, to reduce its bulk when not in use.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
