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.

This is a modular panel that can be attached to the wall. The panel is designed to hold up to four exercise modules with a rectangular base.
No tool is required to re-position an individual module at a different height.
The module is inserted by sliding it into specific guides, and easily locked in place using a lever device.
The possibility of positioning the module higher up allows for adapting the exercise gradually and progressively according to the patient’s improvement. The structure is supplied with specific hardware.
This support structure makes it possible to vary the tilt on an individual work aid by 0° to 90° and can be adjusted to any intermediate position.
This makes it possible to extend the opportunities for executing the same exercise in terms of commitment and difficulty.
Also, it can used horizontal, with the patient sitting, or vertical with the patient standing up, by fitting the element to a configurable ERGO 100 panel while the patient is standing.
The structure is in painted metal, while the base is in anti-bacterial polyethylene that is water and UV ray resistant and easy to sterilise.

This is an advanced wall-mounted panel, set up for using a single work aid at a time.
The module is inserted by sliding in specific guides, and locked in place using a lever device.
The aid can now be easily adjusted in height without any tools or repositioning, making variations and progression possible when executing 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 libraries available.
The structure is in metal and is supplied with specific hardware.

Individual work aids can also be used while seated, by using this specific fold-away, wall-mounted table.
This service table blends in with any other vertical structures available, in terms of materials and aesthetic characteristics, and can be combined with one of them.
The structure is in painted metal, while the worktop is in anti-bacterial polyethylene that is water and UV ray resistant and easy to sterilise.
The worktop is also shaped to make it more ergonomic for cases of use by 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.
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.
As 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 stabilise 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 independence of 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.
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.
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.
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, due to bulk considerations, 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.
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.
