Hand Exercise & Therapy

A larger square base than item AR10027-C and is supplied together with 8 cylinders and 8 contoured discs made from different coloured plastic material.

Cylinders can be freely inserted into the 75 holes arranged in the base, while discs can be fitted on the cylinders. The discs have a grip that is easier to grasp, using the hand in various positions and improving dexterity.

Starting by inserting the cylinders away from each other – even two cylinders will do, the exercise difficulty is increased adding more cylinders on, so that the cylinder or discs need to be picked up in a “crowded” environment that makes the task more challenging.

Discs can also be fitted vertically between cylinders and/or be moved as if they were vehicles on a track; they can also be placed on top of the pins in the shape of a stilt-house.

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

The rectangular base panel is supplied together with 8 pins with a magnetic top, and 8 different coloured metal discs.

This game is particularly enjoyable and versatile, as it can also be used for colour recognition as well as to help improve calculation skills and create shape and colour sequences.

The magnet helps to pair the half moons, even when the patient experiences serious difficulties with basic tasks. Lifting the metal disc requires greater strength and accuracy. Plates can be brought closer vertically (and dropped down – a very appealing game) or grabbed horizontally.

Lifting the plate helps with tasks like pulling the tab in a drinks can, and using coins or buttons. Plates can also be removed with the open palm facing upwards. The special half-moon shape provides an easier grip and an extremely innovative opportunity for interaction.

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 is the same as item AR10047, however the base module has a larger square shape, with several patterns or possible paths.

The elements offer various grips and types of “grasp”.

It improves the use of fingers and wrists, both in flexo-extension and pronosupination, and improves the use of elbows in flexo-extension, 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.

Helps improve writing skills and using keys in locks.

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.

The tightening/loosening action involves a 3-finger grip when the thumb is to the side and the phalanx on the middle finger opposes the index finger.

The role of counterposing the middle finger to the thumb is reinforced by the support that the third finger gets from the fourth and fifth fingers.

The three different head diameters provide for increasing the complexity of the task. The entire support is made of anti-bacterial polyethylene that is water and UV ray resistant and easy to sterilise.

It has 3 head diameters for varying levels of difficulty in gripping for the hand – wrist. The “heads”, made of polyethylene like the support, can simulate the caps on food jars, a light bulb, gas tap, etc.

A larger square base compared to item AR10031-C. It comes with 16 metal cylinders that can be inserted freely into the 75 holes arranged in the base.

This aid enables the patient to practise better coordination and use of strength when inserting the cylinders.

More tasks can be devised, for example weaving coloured ribbons or elastic bands through the cylinders already inserted, or even counting, playing a line-them-up game, creating various shapes.

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 a rectangular base module with a flexible plastic tube that can be bent and shaped as you wish to create the desired shape/path.

The tube ends can then be slotted into the base.

The kit also includes a “goose bill” hook, a ring and a disc, all with different sizes, grips and weight, that can be guided along the path defined by the shaped tube.

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

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 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.
