More Details
* WREX allows full passive range of motion of the arm and provides a sense of flotation that assists voluntary movement. It can easily be adjusted to accommodate subjects of different weights and arm lengths by changing the number of bands or sliding the telescopic links.
* The unique design of the shoulder and elbow joints allow for a significant improvement in the available range of motion when compared to other assistive devices.
Features
* The exoskeletal links and linear elastic bands of the WREX balance the arm against gravity resulting in improved functionality.
* 'Use it or lose it': prolonged arm function through the deployment of remaining human capacities.
* Easy installation to (wheel)chairs.
* Easy to adjust construction.
* Can be easily removed when not needed
Purpose
* WREX helps persons with limited arm function to move their arms and hands. This unique assistive device aids in activities of daily living for a variety of pathologies such as muscle disease, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis which effect upper limbs. It also serves as a cost effective exercise/therapy device for people recovering from stroke and other debilitating injuries.
* The WREX enhances movement of the upper extremities when the patient exhibits weak shoulder and elbow musculature with a functional hand
Use
* The WREX can be attached to most common wheelchairs and mobility seating systems utilising one of the three Mount Bases provided with the arm. These are the same attachment systems that are the basis of the mount relocator. The WREX is assembled as left or right. The size is adjustable to fit most children through to adult arms.
