The following points can give you an overview of which care requirements should be met:
- You don’t have a cardio/brain pacemaker
- You can straighten your metatarsophalangeal joints (“knuckles”) with your other hand and bend them at least 70°
- You can lay your hand flat on a table without much effort. The fingers are stretched (slight flexion in the fingers is fine)
- You can use the non-paralyzed hand to shove a glass of water/cup into the paralyzed hand
- You are willing to deal with the operation of a technical aid
- You can actively move your shoulder and elbow and bring your hand to your mouth
If the flexion force of your elbow is restricted, the exomotion® hand one can be extended to include mechanical elbow support. Here, too, one of our care partners will advise you.
