How does it work?

The Power Up Stabilizer assists with:

• Providing a point of stability and biomechanical alignment for one arm facilitating the opposite arm the opportunity to achieve greater accuracy during reach, grasp and touch activities.
• Providing another set of “hands” that will maintain either or both upper extremities in a position of scapular adduction, external rotation while encouraging spinal extension during treatment activities. (Elongation of postural muscles such as the pectorals, and facilitation of the deep spinal extensors with activation of the core stabilizers often need to be worked on initially in session.) This handle can be used to help the child or adult sustain the achieved posture allowing the therapist to use intermittent facilitation or key points of control in other areas of the body.
• Providing an easy mechanism of carryover of alignment and strengthening strategies. Client is able to maintain changes made from one therapy session to the next. This application requires specific caregiver training by the treating therapist. It is recommended that the therapist use the handle over multiple treatment sessions to determine appropriate applications prior to training caregivers to integrate it into the home environment.
• Providing a point of stability in a closed chain for one or both upper extremities to work off of as therapist facilitates postural system activation to improve core stability in treatment.
