Abstract: In this study we examined the effect of neoprene shoulder supports on passive joint reposition sense in subjects with stable and unstable shoulders.

Abstract: Modeling an impaired shoulder is complicated by the used of an orthosis. The purpose of this study is to develop a kinematic model of the upper arm. The model is based on reducing error from soft tissue motion by adding extra skin markers and using functional axes of rotation and optimization.

Abstract: To examine glenoid labrum dynamics, the shoulders of 15 healthy subjects were imaged in standing position at different degrees of external rotation wearing the Omo Immobil Rotation orthosis and by using the UprightTM MRI. The functional length of the anterior labrum was measured.

Abstract: Shoulder subluxation and -pain after stroke is a limiting factor to promote motor control in the hemiparetic arm. The shoulder orthosis OmoNeurexa (ON) supported the arm while activities of daily live and improved the gait pattern in patients with hemiparesis.

Abstract: We´ll show some aids for injured hands, which makes life for disabled of the hands easier and more comfortable.

Abstract: Dynamic Movement Orthosis (DMO) has been used in a team oriented cp clinic. A retrospective chart review was conducted to complete a quality audit and to document trends in DMO WHO use, including wearer profile, treatment plan, follow up schedule, and outcomes.
