This 6th edition of the classic text combines the expertise of hand therapists and hand surgeons and details the diagnosis and management of hand / upper extremity disorders. This comprehensive resource covers the entire upper extremity including increased coverage of wrist, elbow and shoulder problems.
The HANDTUTOR and ARMTUTOR are some of the latest physical therapy solutions available to patients that allow for functional rehabilitation of the upper extremity including the shoulder, elbow and wrist. The system consists of an ergonomic wearable glove and arm brace together with dedicated rehabilitation software. The ARMTUTOR™ and HANDTUTOR™ systems (LEGTUTOR, 3DTUTOR) allow the physical and occupational therapist to report on and evaluate the patient’s functional rehabilitation progress. This allows the PT and OT to prescribe the correct customized and motivating intensive exercise practice to the patient. Intensive repetition of movement is achieved through challenging games set to the patient’s ability. The system provides detailed exercise performance instructions and precise feedback on the patient’s efforts. Controlled exercise of multijoints within the normal movement pattern prevents the development of undesired and compensatory joint movement and ensures better performance of functional tasks.
Telerehabilitation allows the recovering patient to continue his physical therapy at home. The system is used by many leading rehabilitation centers worldwide and has full FDA and CE certification. See WWW.MEDITOUCH.CO.IL for more information.
