The second air bladder is placed just in front and provides support to the intrinsic muscles that extends the PIP- and DIP-joints. The interplay between the static aluminium frame and the dynamic air bladders provides a slow, constant and individual stretch of the flexor tendons. The aluminium frame is adjustable to follow the progress of the patient in rehabilitation. The wrist angle, thumbs position and the finger platform can all be adjusted individually. This makes it possible to allow more extension to the wrist. The dynamic extension can then be adjusted by using the air bladders. The orthosis have two straps around the lower arm to provide a stable position. There is a strap running over the upper part of the hand and is attached on the radial side. This strap provides stability when patient is flexing the wrist. The finger platform has also a strap that can be adjusted depending on how much air is pumped into the air bladders. Measure hand width over the MCP joints.
DYFEX stands for Dynamic Finger Extension and is a new concept which has been developed and patented by Mediroyal for patient's with spasticity. The concept is a combination of a static but adjustable orthosis that has been fitted with two air bladders. These air bladders have been integrated into the finger platform and provide support to the transversal and longitudinal arches of the hand. The bladders complement the function of the finger platform by providing a dynamic extension of the fingers. DYFEX is and excellent alternative for patient's that are undergoing treatment with botulinum toxin. it's possible to modify fast to the patient's changing conditions and progress. The first air bladder is placed directly under the MCP-joints to provide support and a light pressure under the MCP-arch.
