Reh4Mat Stroke Orthosis – Supportive Arm Orthosis After Stroke

Reh4Mat Stroke Arm Orthosis – Arm Support for Functional Loss After Stroke

The lightweight and user-friendly Reh4Mat arm orthosis is specially designed for people recovering from a stroke or other neurological conditions affecting the arm or hand. This stroke arm orthosis ensures that the arm remains in a correct, functional position. This helps prevent complications such as muscle tension (spasticity) and shoulder dislocation (subluxation). As a result, pain is reduced, movement improves, and a more natural posture is maintained. Thanks to its intelligent design, the Reh4Mat STROKE orthosis promotes independence and makes daily activities easier.

High-Quality Materials for Durable Use

The orthosis is made from durable materials that provide long-lasting comfort and support. The sturdy polyamide straps ensure reliable fixation, are wear-resistant, and easy to clean. The innovative AirRubber III™ material features unidirectional elasticity, meaning it stretches in one direction to deliver optimal compression. This provides excellent support, while the breathable and skin-friendly structure ensures long-term wearing comfort. The massaging effect enhances comfort even under higher compression.

Safe and Precise Fit

Lightweight polyamide buckles are integrated to ensure a safe and precise fit. These buckles are easy to adjust and provide secure fastening. The ergonomically designed hand grip offers a comfortable hold and helps support the arm in the desired position. The locking tab, made from aircraft-grade aluminum, plays a crucial role. This material is lightweight, strong, sweat-resistant, and finished with a durable powder coating, allowing quick and easy control of the orthosis positioning.

Components of the Reh4Mat STROKE Arm Orthosis

The orthosis consists of several carefully designed components that work together to optimally support the arm and shoulder.

1. Polyamide buckles enhance stabilization of the shoulder joint in a neutral position and minimize the risk of shoulder dislocation.
2. Axillary soft pads reduce pressure under the armpits and improve wearing comfort.
3. Arm strap ensures optimal pressure distribution across the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, controls arm movements, and protects against involuntary abduction while reducing the risk of impingement.
4. Wrist strap keeps the arm in the correct position and the wrist in a neutral alignment, enhancing stability.
5. Shoulder harness is designed in a figure-8 shape to improve posture by promoting thoracic extension, scapular retraction, and depression.
6. Locking tab keeps the shoulder harness securely in place, is lightweight and durable, and allows quick and easy verification of the orthosis positioning.
7. Elbow strap controls elbow positioning, reduces shoulder subluxation by supporting the arm, and protects the arm by maintaining adduction.

Size Chart

Refer to the size chart below to determine the recommended size based on your height and weight.

If the recommended size differs between height and weight, consider where most of the weight is carried. If weight is carried higher on the body (torso/shoulders), prioritize the size based on weight. If weight is carried lower (abdomen/hips), prioritize the size based on height.

The size chart is indicative. If in doubt, you may order two sizes, try them on, and return the unused size.
