Reach

The SaeboReach includes the SaeboFlex device and adds an above elbow component to provide elbow extension. This device allows individuals suffering from neurological impairments, such as stroke, the ability to incorporate their arm and hand functionally in therapy and at home. These unique orthoses position the wrist and fingers into extension in preparation for object manipulation. The user is able to grasp objects by voluntarily flexing his or her fingers. Once the fingers relax (stop gripping), the extension spring system assists in re-opening the hand to release the object.

Description

The SaeboReach is a custom-fit product that must be properly sized and fit by a qualified professional who has enrolled in our on-line training class.
The SaeboReach is based on the latest advances in neurorehabilitation research documenting the brain’s ability to “re-program” itself through mass practice, task-oriented arm training.
Task-specific training improves upper extremity function in individuals suffering from neurological injuries. However, treatment options are limited for neurological clients who cannot effectively incorporate their hand for functional grasp and release/prehension activities.
The vast majority of stroke survivors, head injury and incomplete spinal cord injury patients do not exhibit sufficient active wrist and/or finger extension to allow the hand to be functional.
The SaeboReach has the biomechanical advantage in allowing prehension grasp and release activities for individuals with moderate to severe hemiparesis.

The SaeboReach is designed for individuals that have experienced a neurological injury such as stroke, head injury, or spinal cord injury.
Clients that demonstrate arm and hand weakness and are unable to use their hand to perform everyday tasks are great candidates for this device.
The onset of the injury does not prevent someone from receiving Saebo treatment. Whether the client just had a stroke, or if he or she suffered an injury years ago, the SaeboReach can be of great benefit.
In order to qualify for the SaeboReach, clients must exhibit:

Some ability to move the shoulder (1/4 range of elevation).
Some ability to move the elbow (1/4 range of elbow bending).
Some ability to curl the fingers (1/4 range of finger flexion).
Little to no contractures in the hand or arm. Too much stiffness in the hand or elbow can prevent a client from using the device.
