SaeboFlex©

The SaeboFlex© is a dynamic hand splint that can assist certain individuals following stroke and other neurological problems, to regain some functional use of their affected hand.

The SaeboFlex© works by holding the wrist and hand in a functional position, whilst a unique spring system allows the fingers to open and close with minimal effort from the individual.

The SaeboFlex© is incorporated into an intensive exercise programme to facilitate improved function of the affected hand. 

The Neurophysiotherapists at Bristol neurophysio are trained in assessment for the SaeboFlex© splint and if appropriate can assist in the fitting and intensive therapy programme that follows.

Some kind words

Our daughter’s renal failure means that she is delayed with standing and walking at 2 and half years of age. We first started seeing Jules a few months back for an intense block of physiotherapy to build the strength and skills needed for her to eventually stand and walk.  It was really important that the physiotherapist specialised in paediatrics and could work alongside the NHS physiotherapists we also see. Jules immediately put us at ease with her friendly and professional approach and has built a good, trusting relationship with our daughter.  She uses play as a way to get our daughter to engage with the therapy.  Our daughter has really enjoyed all her physio sessions to date and we have seen a notable improvement in her movement.  She has begun to pull herself up and can climb up small steps as well as shuffle down stairs in a controlled manner!
