NeuroFlex Restorative Elbow Orthosis for Elbow Contractures

Product Description

Advanced Elbow Support for Contracture Management and Improved Range of Motion

The NeuroFlex Restorative Elbow Orthosis is designed to help manage elbow flexion contractures, a condition where the elbow becomes stiff or restricted and cannot fully straighten.

Using a combination of adjustable tension, flexible support and comfortable padding, the orthosis delivers a prolonged, low-load passive stretch to help gradually improve elbow extension and joint mobility.

Its innovative Flex Technology accommodates changes in muscle tone and spasticity, making it particularly suitable for patients with neurological or musculoskeletal conditions requiring ongoing elbow positioning and contracture management.

Key Features and Benefits

• Adjustable Dial Hinges: Allows healthcare professionals to progressively adjust the elbow’s position, providing controlled stretching to help improve extension and range of motion.
• Flex Technology: The flexible splint construction accommodates abnormal muscle tone and spasticity, helping maintain comfort while supporting gradual repositioning.
• Three-Point Leverage System: Applies controlled forces similar to manual stretching, encouraging gradual correction of elbow flexion contractures.
• Customisable Thermoplastic Cuffs: High-temperature plastic upper-arm and forearm cuffs can be remoulded by a healthcare professional to achieve a more personalised fit.
• Swivelling Lower Cuff: Accommodates different degrees of elbow flexion, allowing the orthosis to adapt as joint positioning changes.
• Pressure-Redistributing Padding: Soft, cushioned contact areas help distribute pressure across the arm, improving comfort during prolonged wear.
• Progressive Contracture Management: Designed to provide sustained, gentle stretching as part of a clinician-directed rehabilitation or positioning programme.

Indications for Use

The NeuroFlex Restorative Elbow Orthosis is suitable for managing elbow flexion contractures, restricted elbow extension and abnormal muscle tone or spasticity associated with conditions including:

• Stroke (CVA)
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
• Cerebral Palsy
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Dementia, including advanced Alzheimer’s disease
• Post-operative rehabilitation, where prescribed

Supporting Progressive Elbow Extension

Unlike rigid positioning supports, the NeuroFlex Restorative Elbow Orthosis combines adjustable positioning with a flexible design that responds to changes in muscle tone.

The adjustable hinge system enables clinicians to introduce gradual changes to elbow extension, while the three-point leverage mechanism provides sustained, low-load stretching. This approach aims to help manage contractures and maintain or improve available joint movement without relying on forceful stretching.

Important: The orthosis should be fitted and adjusted by a qualified healthcare professional. Stretching intensity, wearing schedules and progression should be determined according to individual clinical needs and tolerance.
