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 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.

    Oblique Spiral

    Product Code: AR10010

    This aid involves work on the horizontal plane. The elbow bends and extends to reach the curves on the flexible element. Inclined radial / ulnar movements are required to get past them. Positioning on a vertical panel: in this case the instrument lies on the vertical plane.

    This instrument is therefore similar to the vertical spiral, but differs in that positioning it at various heights and working in an upright position, obliges the subject to achieve greater bending and extension of the arm.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
