Effective Hand Function Rehabilitation Method

Why Should Patients Take Hand Rehabilitation?

As we all know, human hand has a fine structure and complex functions of movement and sensory. Hands with 54% of the function of the whole body are also the most essential “tools” for human progress and development. Hand trauma, nerve damage, etc. can cause hand dysfunction, affecting people’s daily life and work.

What Is The Purpose of Hand Rehabilitation?

Hand function rehabilitation includes a variety of rehab methods including rehab techniques and equipment, etc. The purpose of hand rehabilitation is to promote the functional recovery of patients, including:

(1) rehab of physical or physiological function;

(2) psychological or mental rehabilitation, that is, eliminating abnormal psychological reactions to injuries, restoring balance and stable psychological state;

(3) social rehabilitation, that is, the ability to resume participation in social activities, or “reintegration “.

Hand Function Training Table YK-M12

Introduction to Hand Function Training Table

The hand therapy table is suitable for the middle and late stages of hand function rehabilitation. The 12 separation motion training modules are equipped with 4 independent resistance training groups. Training of the fingers and wrists could improve the joint mobility as well as the muscle strength and endurance. It’s for improving hand flexibility, coordination and proprioception. Through patients’ active training, the coordination of muscle tension between muscle groups and motion control can be improved rapidly.

Application

Applicable to patients in need of hand rehabilitation from rehabilitation, neurology, orthopedics, sports medicine, pediatrics, hand surgery, geriatrics and other departments, community hospitals, nursing homes or old-age care institutions.

Features of The Hand Therapy Table

(1) The table provides 12 hand function training modules to train patients with different hand dysfunction;

(2) Counterweight pile resistance design to effectively ensure that patient’s fingers are safe in the training

(3) Rehabilitation training for four patients at the same time, and thus highly improving the rehabilitation efficiency;

(4) Effectively integration with cognitive and hand-eye coordination training to accelerate the remodeling of brain function;

(5) Let patients participate more actively in training and improve their awareness of active participation.

Detailed Introduction of 12 Training Modules

1) ulnoradial training: wrist ulnoradial joint mobility, muscle strength;

2) ball gripping: finger joint mobility, muscle strength, finger wrist coordination;

3) forearm rotation: muscle strength, joint mobility, motion control;

4) vertical pulling: finger grasping ability, joint mobility and upper limb coordination;

5) full finger gripping: finger joint mobility, finger grasping ability;

6) finger stretching: finger joint mobility, stretch finger muscle strength;

7) wrist flexion and extension: wrist joint mobility, wrist flexion and extension muscle strength, motor control ability;

8) horizontal pulling: finger grasping ability, joint mobility and coordination of arm and finger joints;

9) columnar gripping: wrist joint mobility, muscle strength, wrist joint control ability;

10) lateral pinching: finger joint coordination, joint mobility, finger muscle strength;

11) thumb training: thumb movement ability, finger movement control ability;

12) finger flexion: finger flexion muscle strength, joint mobility and endurance;

We design the hand therapy table with every concern taken into consideration, we’ve tried our best to perfect it in every way. With no motor in the table, it requires patients to do motivate training with 2 level muscle strength or above.

With rich experience manufacturing rehabilitation equipment, we also offer various kinds of equipment including robotic and physical therapy series. Please feel free to contact us for more detailed information.
