Upper extremity support OKG-05

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, causing a lack of oxygen and nutrients. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic (about 80% of cases) and hemorrhagic. Post-stroke, spasticity is common—especially on one side of the body—due to impaired nerve signal transmission to the muscles. Initially, flaccid paralysis (plegia) is observed, which later transitions into spasticity. To prevent deformities and support recovery, timely rehabilitation and the use of orthoses are essential. An upper limb positioning orthosis helps maintain the arm in a functional position and enhances rehabilitation outcomes.

The OKG-05 orthosis includes:

Elbow strap ensures:

• Elbow position control
• Shoulder subluxation reduction by supporting the arm
• Arm adduction

Hand strap ensures:

• Dynamic compression force through wrist, elbow, and shoulder
• Control of upper limb movement
• Protection against involuntary flexion caused by spasticity

Shoulder strap features:

• 8-shape design that supports proper body posture

Front and rear polyamide buckles provide:

• Reduction of shoulder subluxation
• Neutral shoulder rotation

Underarm pads:

• Reduce pressure in the armpit area, increasing user comfort

Hand grip:

• Oval shape promotes a cylindrical hand grasp to prevent wrist deformities
• Provides initial hand support to reduce shoulder subluxation

• Stroke
• Brain injury
• Brachial plexus injury
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Transverse myelitis
• Post-polio syndrome
• Other neurological conditions
