Ottobock Omo Neurexa 5065N Upper Extremity Orthosis – Left, Size XS
Enhanced Description
The Ottobock Omo Neurexa 5065N upper extremity orthosis (left, size XS) is a medical-grade device designed to correct upper limb positioning and improve function in individuals experiencing neurological impairments affecting shoulder mobility. This innovative orthosis utilizes temperature-regulating PCM® material for optimal comfort and extended wear, regardless of ambient temperature. It effectively addresses pain and dysfunction stemming from conditions such as:
- Stroke (hemiparesis/hemiplegia): Provides support and reduces the risk of further injury.
- Peripheral nerve damage (neck and shoulder): Offers crucial stability and promotes healing.
- Brachial plexus injuries: Helps maintain proper shoulder alignment and reduces pain.
How it Works
The Omo Neurexa 5065N gently corrects upper limb posture by inducing slight supination and extension of the forearm. It achieves this by:
- Unloading the shoulder joint: Partially replacing weakened muscle function.
- Reducing joint capsule stress: Facilitating proper head-of-humerus positioning.
- Minimizing subluxation: Helping to prevent or reduce shoulder dislocation.
- Decreasing spasticity and pain: Providing comfort and improving range of motion.
- Protecting the paretic limb: Preventing sudden movements that could cause further damage.
- Improving symmetry and gait: Supporting rehabilitation and promoting improved mobility.
Key Features
- Anatomical design: Provides a comfortable and secure fit to the shoulder, scapular, and forearm areas.
- Adjustable straps: Allow for precise customization and optimal positioning.
- Removable silicone applicator: Can be used for localized massage and muscle activation.
- Internal silicone lining: Prevents slippage and ensures a comfortable fit.
- PCM® (Phase Change Material): Maintains a consistent temperature, preventing overheating and skin irritation.
Important Note
Consult your physician or physical therapist before using this orthosis to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific needs and condition. Proper fitting and usage are crucial for optimal results.
