A Subtle Mechanism
An adjustable spring mechanism assists with opening and closing your hand, to grip and release. Each part of your hand is maintained in a functional position but without a feeling of uncomfortable, overbearing action.
An additional dynamic component helps with thumb and finger extension, so you can grasp and release objects. Other elements align your fingers and prevent flexion at the fingertips, to ensure that a proper grasp takes place.
The assistance takes place in response to a degree of voluntary action. Once you relax your fingers, the extension spring system helps them to release any object you are holding, in time with your wish for this to happen.
Using SaeboFlex does not feel like your hand is being forced to move, each action gives a perception of being supported and manageable.
Returning Movement
In normal circumstances, we constantly use our hands to interact with the environment and engage in a wide variety of activities. Taking steps to reinstate this critical movement using SaeboFlex is pleasurable:
-
Immediate Ability
You become able to grasp objects again and release your grip when you choose, by voluntarily flexing your fingers.
-
Starting To Rebuild
Fresh neural pathways within your brain can gradually be established and muscles strengthened, to return function.
-
Thinking Of The Future
Tightening of the hand and shortening of your muscles is prevented, which could limit hand function to a greater degree over time.
The amount of support SaeboFlex offers can be adjusted, to manage weakness in early stages, or increase your input to movement as progress is made.
Starting With SaeboFlex
An individual assessment will help to determine whether SaeboFlex is a good choice for you and if other forms of therapy could offer additional benefit.
Safety is naturally a key factor and where there is significant arthritis, or open wounds, other options can be considered. SaeboFlex is however safe and beneficial in the vast majority of rehabilitation cases.
Our therapists will guide you through use and work with you. To improve a core need which makes life richer and more practical.
