Patient Inspired Solutions from Ultraflex

New: EWHO Rotation Design Eases Fitting of Neurological Patients with Forearm-Rotation Patterns

The EWHO rotation design facilitates slow, gentle movement of the forearm toward supination or pronation and simultaneous extension or flexion of the elbow during the patient fitting. After applying the proximal elbow section and the distal forearm section, the forearm section can be gently rotated and fixed into the desired position.

Ultraflex therapeutic-stretching bracing provides precise dynamic stimulus and proper posturing to maintain/increase muscle length for improved grasp, pinch, and release functions. It is ideal for challenging neurological conditions such as CP, post-stroke, and TBI.

Dycor: Renewing Lifestyle DR Feet with Titanium Pyramid

Dycor's new K2 (assisted ADL) Dynamic Response (DR) feet are 30 percent more flexible than the K3 (unassisted ADL) DR version. Titanium pyramids are now standard (aluminum alloy option is available on the K2 version). Similar to energy-returning designs, Dycor's DR feet are lightweight and resilient because they rely on deflection of the varying-thickness leaf springs imbedded in the upper keel member rather than compression of rubber bumpers. Similar to other DR designs, Dycor's DR feet are ground compliant because they incorporate uni-, bi-, or triaxial ankle articulation.
