Is my child appropriate for SaeboReach?

The SaeboReach is appropriate with a portion of the individuals that are appropriate for the SaeboFlex. Similarly to the SaeboFlex, the SaeboReach assist in elbow function. Patients must be able to achieve a certain level of movement to ensure the SaeboReach will suit them such as having some shoulder and elbow movement and be able to close their hand at least a little. If your child performs well, their functional level may be too advanced for the SaeboReach and another orthoses may be more appropriate.

The treatment regime is very similar to that of the SaeboFlex. It is very demanding both physically and mentally for your child. Children that use the SaeboReach must be willing to devote two sessions of 45 minutes each day to repetitive exercises and then use the affected limb as much as possible functionally following the sessions. Results can take months but the exercises will be continually reviewed and updated to keep therapy as interesting as possible.
