General information
The URIAS
®
orally inflated air splints are made from specially developed PVC. Based on
the principles of PANat, monitoring change and increasing awareness of the hemiplegic
side are important aspects when integrating specific air splints into the individual’s
rehabilitation programme. Nurses and carers are taught how to apply the air splints and
support the client out of therapy sessions and at home.
With each air splint the following procedures apply:
Preparation prior to air splint application
Application
Sample exercises: use these to develop your own exercise programmes.
