US PATENT NO. 7,547,290 B1
The elbow wrist hand orthosis is comprised of the
hand paddle originated by Waleed Al-Oboudi with its unique flat surface,
shapes, and features. The hand paddle is attached to a forearm
component and an upper arm humeral component which both help with
increasing or maintaining wrist extension and elbow extension
respectively. In addition, an optional attachment on the forearm
component is available that aids in supporting the weight of the limb by
attaching to the patient's belt. Other options include
interchangeable paddle hand splints with arches and/or individualized
hand positions that aid in a graded therapeutic stretch among many other
therapeutic benefits. Various types of straps are available to
meet individual needs of the patients, however the straps featured are
standard and provide for the most secure individual adjustments.
This orthotic is specifically designed to decrease the effects of
hypertonicity in the finger, wrist and elbow flexors, while increasing
passive range of motion toward finger extension, thumb extension, wrist
extension and elbow extension. This orthotic is an important
adjunct in the Neuro-IFRAH® Approach and the originator, Waleed Al-Oboudi, only recommends this adjunct versus
ineffective imitations that are based on his concepts that are highly
problematic.
