4.2 Adjusting the device for
the thumb treatment
– Rotate splint from the dorsal forearm to
the radial side as shown. (fig.3)
– Apply finger clip to the thumb.
m
PRECAUTION!
The center of the clip should straddle the
DIP of the thumb as shown, since this po-
sition allows for more opposition motion
to occur. (fig.4)
– Apply the motor (11) to the splint (12) alig-
ning the device with the CMC joint. (fig.5)
– Depending on the size of the hand diffe-
rent sizes of actuators can be used. The
blue actuator (8) provides good motion
to the average sized thumb.
– To avoid an ulnar deviation as the thumb
flexes, the patient should place their hand
on a flat surface such as a table, couch
arm or other comfortable surface.
– Figure 6 shows the device in full oppositi-
on/flexion.
m
PRECAUTION!
It is important that the actuator bar does
not hit the index finger when it reaches
this position as it could cause irritation to
the patients skin.
4.3 Adjusting the device for MP
Block treatment
– Apply
ARTROMOT®-F
as usual.
– Extend splint (12) by pulling on distal and
proximal ends, so that the splint is posi-
tioned in-between the MP and PIP joints.
(fig.7)
– Apply the volar block by placing it under
the fingers and attaching the long black
Velcro straps (14) to the splint. (fig.8)
– The MP joints are now blocked from both
extension and flexion.
m
PRECAUTION!
As the force of the motor needs
to be concentrated on the PIP joints, not
on the MP joints, move the motor so that
the axis point is aligned with the PIP joints.
(fig.9)
Figure 10 shows the device in flexion. The
axis is on the PIP and the fingers are flexed
at the DIP and PIP only.
Make sure you adjust the flexion ROM on
the controller to match this limited arc of
motion.
This setup can be accomplished by using all
clip attachment methods including the silipos
digital cap (fig.11) or to the preferences of
the clinician, patient or you. (see “Features”,
