Brs 1-2Promoting finger extension and separation in individuals with flexion dominant high spasticity paralysis.
- Case Examples
-
①Extensor contraction is present, but flexor muscles are dominant.
②Tendency for flexor muscles to synergistically contract.
③Difficulty with extension (release) after flexion (grasp).
- Purpose
-
①②Improving finger extension motion and finger separation.
③Learn to grasp and release items.
- MELTz Modes
-
Active instruction mode → Active free mode.
- Exercise menu and content
-
Make fist/extend fingers/relax (Limited mode ON or OFF)
- Repeat fist/extend fingers/relax in accordance with instructions from equipment.
- Grasp object and release (object = beanbag, sponge foam, large-sized pegs, etc.).
Points
- Limited mode used in cases of persistent extensor muscle contraction difficulties or instability.
- Difficulty adjusted (small to large, increased extension range) depending on the item.
