Elements Body – Glove & Sleeve
Elements Body Glove and Sleeve are textile orthoses that provide continuous proprioceptive feedback to the hand, wrist, and arm. They may be suitable when support is required for movement control, stability, and coordination of the upper extremity, for example to facilitate fine motor tasks and functional activities in everyday life.
The Elements Body orthosis is made of Lycra elastic fabric and constructed from multiple panels in a design that provides pressure and resistance to enhance posture and stability. By increasing deep sensory input, also referred to as proprioception, fine motor skills as well as functional performance may also be improved.
The orthoses are ordered and manufactured according to individual measurements and are available in short or long versions, with or without fingers. Reinforcements and zippers can be added as needed for functional and usability needs. The design and configuration are determined by the prescribing clinician.
Advised minimum wearing time for Elements Body is 6 hours a day. At the beginning of treatment, Elements Body should be worn for shorter periods of time, and gradually increased until the goal of 6 hours per day is reached. The orthosis should not be used for more than 8–10 hours per day. Elements Body should not be worn through the night when patient is sleeping.
