Upper Extremity Orthotics Devices
Degenerative disease, birth defects, injuries, and surgeries can all lead to things like pain or discomfort, muscle weakness, a decrease in joint range of motion, and more. Orthotics can help improve mobility, reduce pain, and ensure that your body heals properly following surgery. Upper extremity orthotics addresses issues with the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and more.
Our team of orthotic specialists is experienced at helping patients deal with a wide range of issues. Whether you’ve been injured, gone through surgery, or had some other type of upper extremity issue, our professional practitioners will help. They will spend the time to make sure you get the right device for your situation, and will help you throughout your recovery. We begin by determining which type of upper extremity orthotic device is right for you. We offer everything from simple resting hand splints to the most advanced devices like power driven hinges, which utilize a motor to mobilize your joint. For example, some of the upper orthotic devices devices we offer include:
WRIST AND HAND SPLINTS
Wrist Cock Up Splints – Wrist injuries often require immobilization, and the cock-up wrist splint is one of the best options in these cases. It holds the wrist in a functional position, giving it time to heal itself. Resting Hand Splints – Resting hand splints help control issues with the wrist, hand, or thumb by treating mild to moderate levels of flexion contractures. They’ll need to be worn consistently, and a proper fit is important.
POST OP ELBOW
These braces are used to help maintain the proper positioning of the elbow following surgery. They’re an important part of the recovery process. They allow the amount of motion the elbow is permitted to be controlled as the joint heals.
SHOULDER ABDUCTION SPLINTS
This is yet another type of device that is used to help patients recover from major shoulder surgery. This type of splint can be as simple a cushion that the arm rests on, making it more comfortable to keep the arm in the proper spot during recovery. Or as involved as an “airplane splint,” which holds the shoulder at a 90 degree angle. This type of splint typically comes with a joint that will allow the position of the shoulder to be adjusted throughout the healing process.
SaeboFlex Orthosis
The SaeboFlex is an upper extremity brace designed for individuals with neurological impairments, like stroke, to aid hand and finger movement. It uses a spring-loaded mechanism to assist with gripping and performing daily tasks, supporting rehabilitation by improving strength and range of motion. Customizable for individual needs, it can be used in both clinical and home therapy settings.
Myomo brace
The Myomo MyoPro is a power-assisted brace for those with arm and hand weakness from conditions such as stroke or spinal cord injury. It uses myoelectric sensors to amplify weak muscle signals, enabling movement of the elbow, wrist and hand. Unlike FES devices, it enhances voluntary movement, not just muscle stimulation. It aids in daily activities and improves independence. The MyoPro is both a rehabilitation tool and a long-term assistive device, enhancing user autonomy.
Shoulder immobilizer
A shoulder immobilizer orthosis stabilizes the shoulder and arm to aid recovery after injuries or surgery. It includes a supportive sling, chest strap, and over-the-shoulder strap to limit movement while promoting healing. Adjustable and made from breathable materials, it ensures comfort during extended wear.
