The rectangular base panel is supplied together with 4 cylinders and 4 contoured discs made from different coloured plastic material.

Cylinders can be freely inserted into the 30 holes arranged in the base, while discs can be fitted on the cylinders. The half-moon discs have a grip that is easier to grasp, using the hand in various positions and improving dexterity.

The size has been designed to promote a grasp with an almost open hand and extending the metacarpophalangeal and Interphalangeal joints. Inserting the discs into the pins helps practise the pronosupination of the wrist.

You can also work on recognising, matching and seriating the various colours. With a panel placed on the wall, you can also exercise elbows and shoulders. For those who need to work on a sloping plane, the panel can also be held on the knees or in the hands of the therapist, who is in front of the patient.

The standard set-up for the exercise aid can be subsequently integrated with other similar or different components from the available choice of accessories.

A larger square base compared to item AR10029-C and is supplied together with 16 pins with magnetic top and 16 different coloured metal discs.

Magnetised pins can be freely inserted into the 75 holes arranged in the base, while metal discs can be fitted on or removed from the pins.

This exercise aid offers a wide and varied range of exercises as described under item AR10029, but with a greater number of elements.

The standard set-up for the exercise aid can be subsequently integrated with other similar or different components from the available choice of accessories.

This aid comes with two different shaped aluminium pins, two different sized spheres and one plastic cylinder.

These elements offer various handles and types of “grip”:

– The two small aluminium pins are to perform accurate finger movements (one of these versions can replicate a key grip);

– The two spheres are also suitable for a child to “grasp” (for example, it can be grabbed using the palm of the hand);

– The cylinder with 2.5 cm diameter and 9 cm height is for grasping with the palm or finger tips depending on the patient’s capabilities or the movement you wish to perfect.

This exercise aid improves the use of fingers, wrists, upper arms, hand-eye coordination both in adult and adolescent patients who need to learn and practise skills they have never used before or have lost after a trauma injury to the limbs or due to neurological lesions.

Through a movement that is restricted to a track, the upper limb can move following a varied motor programme, while also working on retracting the shoulder-elbow-wrist joint.

Helps improve writing skills and using keys in locks.

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.

This therapy aid exercises the subject in prono-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.

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.

The rectangular base panel is supplied together with metal cylinders that can be inserted freely into the thirty holes arranged in the base.

It’s devised for hand-eye coordination, to improve dexterity and/or use the correct strength when inserting things. It can also be used to weave coloured ribbons or elastic bands through the cylinders.

It is to practise accuracy with movements and the strength required to either extract the cylinders or push them into the holes.

The standard set-up for the exercise aid can be subsequently integrated with other similar or different components from the available choice of accessories.

This aid consists of two rectangular base modules with a rigid plastic tube that can be bent and shaped as desired. The tube ends can then be slotted into the bases.

The kit also includes a “goose bill” hook and a ring that can be guided along the path defined by the shaped tube.

This aid offers complete freedom in creating different movements and grips.

This aid consists of a larger square base module with a rigid plastic tube that can be bent and shaped as desired to create the preferred shape/path.

Its functional characteristics and accessories are the same as for item AR10053.

This aid offers complete freedom in creating different movements and grips.

A “sliding” latch: 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: 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.

To activate the switch, the finger must be positioned on the correct half of the button. This task can also be done using two fingers.

To do a rhythmic alternating movement, selectivity is required in calling on the two fingers to flex in succession.

Inserting a plug in a socket is a task that calls for attention,  coordination and evaluation of the force to do so safely. The patient must grip the two elements firmly in their hands and  connect them to one another.
