New Albany, IN . . .  Do you know a person who experiences frustration with loss of hand and arm movement?  Do you have some movement, but have trouble opening your hand after you close it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we have a new and exciting option for you.

The SaeboFlex is a splinting system that uses spring mechanisms to assist in retraining the muscles used in hand and arm movement.  This free seminar will introduce the SaeboFlex and explain how it can help people who have lost hand and arm function due to such conditions as stroke or brain injury.  Participants will be educated on the use of this device and will also be evaluated by a physician and occupational therapist to assess if they are an appropriate candidate for the SaeboFlex unit. 

For more information on the program, or to register for the class, call (812) 941-6153.
