A Dynamic Hand Splint That Immobilizes and Stretches!

Buy the Saebo Stretch Hand Splint from ActiveForever and enjoy a dynamic hand splint that allows your fingers to move through flexion. The Saebo Stretch Hand Splint is an innovative hand splint that utilizes a strapping device (with rubber backing) to immobilize and stretch the fingers straight. Most customers find this product useful after a stroke. The Saebo Stretch's stretch technology allows your fingers to move through flexion caused by associated reactions and tone. In addition, it utilizes a low load long duration stretch (slow stretch) to return your fingers to the desired position.

Current post-stroke devices on the market today use a static hand piece to address the dynamic hand. As the dynamic hand tries to move through flexion (In anatomy, flexion is a position that is made possible by the joint angle decreasing), the unbending static hand piece causes the PIP(proximal IP joint ) to flex and the DIP(distal IP joint ) to hyperextend. The result is joint damage, deformities, hypermobility and contractures. Use of the Saebo Stretch Hand Splint works to prevent these issues.

Below are examples of the effects of a typical "static hand piece."

Saebo Stretch Hand Splint Description:

We have found the single most limiting factor to regaining hand function following a stroke, besides the severity of the stroke, is soft tissue shortening of the long finger flexors. When this happens, the hand will tighten up and the fingers do not stay straight as they should. The neurologically impaired wrist and hand have been a challenge for therapists since the first splint was fabricated.

The new strap design on the Saebo Stretch Hand Splint offers two major improvements. The first is the rubber backing. This helps prevent unwanted Velcro strap interlock, which increases ease and independence with donning and doffing, and ensures longer strap life.
