Customizable Stabilization for Neurological Hand and Wrist Support

The Chrisofix Orthosis for Paresis provides specialized assistance for individuals recovering from stroke or nerve injuries. This brace features a unique moldable core that allows you to shape the support perfectly to your hand and wrist. You benefit from the stable positioning which prevents joint contractures and maintains a functional resting posture. The breathable materials ensure your skin stays dry and comfortable during long periods of daily wear.

You achieve a perfect anatomical fit when you use the Chrisofix Orthosis for Paresis for neurological rehabilitation. The adjustable design allows for easy modifications as your swelling decreases or your range of motion improves. This support helps reduce muscle tension and protects the thumb and wrist from improper alignment. It suits patients with hemiparesis or peripheral nerve damage who require reliable and lightweight immobilization.

Application and Adjusting

The ready to adjust Chrisofix® orthoses have to be adjusted directly on the injured/diseased body part. The rough adjustment (bending) has to be performed on a non-injured limb of similar size. Fine adjustments, readjustments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis.

• Shape the orthosis on the hand, wrist and forearm.
• Set the wrist into the required position.
• Put the arm with the palmar side into the pre-shaped orthosis.
• Adjust the orthosis with gentle pressure to the hand and forearm.
• Replace the stiffener bar.
• Fasten the bandages over the fingers, hand and forearm.

To remove the orthosis, it is not necessary to open the strap on back of the hand; the hand can simply be pulled out from and later shifted back into the fixation. Frequent bending and stretching of the orthosis can damage its stability; these must be restricted to the necessary minimum.
