Wrist & Thumb Positioning System

The TheraTogs Wrist + Thumb Positioning System is the most versatile and flexible system of its kind. If you can correct wrist and thumb alignment with your hands, without force, you can use the TheraTogs Wrist + Thumb System to comfortably position your client’s day-long activities in corrected functional alignment.

Key Benefits

  • Unmatched versatility – apply exactly the pronation or supination force vectors your client needs, and change them as she/he improves.
  • Extend wrist control to a TheraTogs garment system worn for the arm, shoulder, or trunk.
  • GoldTone fabric grips, dynamically repositions, and retrains the neuromotor system – for superior outcomes compared to a hard brace or a simple compression wristlet.

Description

The Wrist & Thumb Positioning System is the most versatile and flexible system of its kind, designed to provide carryover of in-clinic rehabilitation activities of all kinds. Use it as a stand-alone functional alignment aide, or to influence the wrist, thumb, or elbow via extension to the PTA or Full Body System.

It is effective in supporting and maintaining the joint position gains achieved with manual correction. If you can correct wrist and thumb alignment with your hands, without force, you can use the TheraTogs Wrist & Thumb System to carry over those in-clinic corrections and comfortably position your client’s day-long activities in corrected functional alignment.

No other wrist or hand support product on the market offers the adaptability, flexibility, and patient comfort of this system.
