Orthotic Glove

The orthotic glove dramatically augments natural key grip power (tenodesis) to provide true power (2.3 N or 230 grams without orthotic glove as compared to 5.4N or 540 grams with orthotic glove). The device is:

• Wrist driven
• Constructed with soft material
• Easily donned and removed independently

The glove harnesses the natural tenodesis movement and uses a nylon filament to pull the thumb into positive contact with the index finger during wrist extension.

Trials on patients who met the usage criteria for the glove, and adhered to the minimum usage requirements improved their average hand function scores as follows:

	Baseline score	Week six score
Pinch force
- Without orthotic glove	2.3	4.3
- With orthotic glove	5.4	13.1
Hand function score
- Without orthotic glove	3	6
- With orthotic glove	7	11

Additional information can be found in paper by M King, A Nicholls and F Collins entitled ‘A wrist extension operated lateral key-pinch grip orthosis for people with tetraplegia” , July 2008.

The Orthotic glove is available for either the left hand or the right hand in four sizes: small, medium, large and extra large.

Cost - $200 + GST
