SaeboReach

SaeboReach

The SaeboReach not only incorporates the affected wrist and hand but also the elbow. The orthosis consists of the SaeboFlex® hand unit and the above-elbow component to facilitate extension of the arm.

The SaeboReach is ideal for neurologically impaired individuals that have hand and elbow involvement. At Complete Neuro Physio our trained Saebo clinician will assess you to determine if you require either SaeboFlex® or SaeboReach.

The main aims of the Saebo products are to:

• Allow patients to use arm and hand functionally
• Decrease learned non-use of the arm and hand
• Increase learned use of the arm and hand
• Reduce spasticity
• Improve the patients range of movement/strength/control
• Reduce your risk of falling
• Improve the patients quality of life

Saebo’s pioneering treatment principles are based on the latest advances in neurorehabilitation research documenting the brain’s ability to “re-program” itself through mass practice, task oriented arm training. The SaeboFlex takes advantage of the most recent research by allowing patients to immediately begin using their hand for functional grasp and release activities. Individuals up to 20 years post neurological injury can benefit from the SaeboFlex. In addition, the ability to use the hand in therapy and at home has been reported as extremely motivating during the recovery process.

SaeboReach can help patients regain arm, elbow and hand function who have neurological impairments including:

• Stroke
• Head Injury
• Spinal Injury
• Cerebral Palsy
• Brachial Plexus injury
