Great education seminar last week with 3 presentations from Taryn, Tim and Amy. Mix of theory and practical exploring joint mobilisations, an orthosis for midcarpal instability and correct use of fluoroscopy and orthoses fabrication for managing base of proximal phalanx fractures

Also great fun getting to spend time together in our newly renovated Joondalup clinic

Happy hand therapy awareness week! 🖐
Starting by celebrating orthosis fabrication.
Returning to occupation drives our treatment and orthoses fabrication is a method often required to during rehabilitation to achieve return to occupation.
It’s an important skill which hand therapists take pride in and continually work to improve on!

This patient’s wrist flexion and extension were both very limited following distal radius ORIF and SL repair. We trialed a removable outrigger to allow mobilisation in both directions while maintaining a better line of pull and targeted torque application. They have gained 15 degrees extension and 20 degrees flexion in 4 weeks @ Perth, Western Australia

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from the REDIMED Hand Therapy team 🎅🏻🎄🥂

It’s warming up here in Perth and today we had our first melted splint of the season, a hand therapists nightmare! Please remember thermoplastic material softens with heat, so avoid leaving your splint in your car and long periods of direct sunlight☀️

Happy OT week everyone! We are proud to be a part of the OT community. Here we specialise in the area of hand and upper limb therapy but often find ourselves educating inquisitive patients on the many wonderful areas of OT.
Thank you for producing this video

Here the patient is completing dorsal wrist vibration, targeting the radial extensors. It’s intended to stimulate afferent muscle spindles and cortical areas associated with kinesthesia, prior to engaging in movement based exercises.

This patient is two weeks post zone T2 FPL and RDN/A repair performed by . She is completing a gentle, isolated IPJ flexion exercise to promote FPL glide and reduce adherence during scar formation.

We commonly treat PIP joint fracture/dislocations following sporting injuries. This nasty one occurred playing football and was successfully enlocated in the Emergency Department. What structures do you think could be affected and how would you treat it?

You can’t miss this bright orthosis!
The surgeon requested a hinged elbow brace to restrict end range extension following a tight distal biceps repair.
We have fabricated the components with maximum surface area to prevent sliding and increase comfort.

Happy hand therapy awareness week from the OTs at REDiMED 🖐 So great to see so many helping to spread the word!
Hand therapy is one our of passions and we love being able to rehabilitate patients back to theirs. We believe some of our most important roles are patient communication and education, clinical assessment and image interpretation and skilful implementation of varying treatment methods including orthoses fabrication, scar and oedema management, desensitisation and exercise prescription but the list goes on!

Interactive meeting today reviewing casting methods and discussing pathology of contracture and tissue growth and reorganisation. Casting is great for maximizing TERT but currently there are no guidelines for how often a cast should be changed. We usually change around 3-4 days and increase and improvements plateau. What do you do? @ Redimedredimed
