An at-home therapy product for hand function therapy A device that allows individuals who have suffered from neurological impairments, such as stroke, head injury, or spinal cord injury the ability to incorporate their arm and hand functionally in therapy and at home. This device prevents flexion at the fingertips so proper grasp can occur, positions and aligns the fingers, extends the fingers following grasping at various grades of extension assistance provided to harness all levels of spasticity, and provides multi-directional adjustments to accommodate all positioning needs. When using this device the wrist and fingers are set an unique orthoses position extension for preparation to handle items. The user is able to grasp objects by voluntarily flexing his or her fingers. Once the fingers relax (stop gripping), the extension spring system assists in re-opening the hand to release the object. Features & Benefits Maintains the patient’s involved hand in a functional position. Offers a dynamic component that assists with thumb and finger extension so grasp and release tasks can be accomplished. Digit Caps prevent flexion at the fingertips so proper grasp can occur. Multiple sizes are available to offer an intimate fit. Finger Lead Mounts position and align the fingers. Numerous sizes are available to accommodate various finger lengths. Extensions Springs extend the fingers following grasping. Various grades of extension assistance provided to harness all levels of spasticity.

Spasticity is a neuromuscular condition usually caused by damage to the portion of the brain or spinal cord that controls voluntary movement.

It is typically found in people with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. Spacticity unmasked This high profile, out-rigger style splint is made from durable rigid parts used to support and assist individuals with increased tone. This is a biomechanical advantage in allowing prehension grasp and release activities for individuals with moderate to severe hemiparesis. Based on the latest advances in neurorehabilitation research documenting the brain’s ability to “re-program” itself through mass practice, task-oriented grip, movement, and strength training. With this device, the simple yet purposeful and meaningful activity such as grasp and release can be achieved. Available to deliver in Australia. Please contact us for a shipping quote.
