Description
The Bamboo Brace is a dynamic elbow splint for children and adults with special needs that assists them by aligning the elbow at more favorable angles in order to learn gross and fine motor skills. The Bamboo Brace is sold with 5 flexible and interchangeable support stays of varying resistance and The Early Gradeschool brace (M) fits children as young as 3.0 years and as old as about 8-9 years.
As a rehabilitation tool for physical and occupational therapy, The Bamboo Brace Early Gradeschool (M) single brace is excellent for both cases of spasticity (i.e. hemiplegia cerebral palsy, stroke) and weakness (i.e. brachial plexus injury BPI, head injury, and trauma). In both situations, the dynamic re-alignment of the elbow assists children in gaining strength and control of key joints and musculature that are critical to the development of gross and fine motor skills. If your child is a participant in Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) and Bimanual Training (BT) The Bamboo Brace is also an outstanding adjunct to both therapeutic approaches when typically used on the involved arm.
If you are looking for a flexible yet effective deterrent for older preschoolers and early grade school aged children who are bringing their hands to mouth in unwanted fashion for situations such as Rett syndrome, autism, and sensory processing disorder (SPD) consider The Bamboo Brace Early Gradeschool Pair.
