The boards are made of MDF - medium density fiberboard. Sturdy cabinet hinges hold the top of the A-frame together. The bottom has a support hinge, which allows the board to fold for storage.
Stroke Patients do not know what to do after discharge and have a one year window to find therapy tools that get the job done.
The best we have to offer in the line of take home modes of therapy are not enough to motivate the users to full hand recovery. 75% of stroke patients go untreated.
Short hospital stays, complications of trauma, and the usual regime of ADL's have not and can not lead a patient to full hand recovery.
Twin graded activity boards offer the patient/therapist motivation by using the same therapy at home as in the clinic. The therapist models various reaches and then sends the patient home with the same instructions. Offering the essentials to fundamental recovery,
this concept is powerful, as it tends to help the patient with the complications of trauma and the therapist dealing with short hospital stays.
In addition, the clinical board utilizes a more measurable tool for outpatient results.
