ABSTRACT:
An external orthesis for motor handicaps of the upper limb, comprising a thoraco-scapular structure formed of a shoulder brace and a belt assembly, with a para-skeleton for the upper limb and hand. The construction of the orthesis is such that all of the physiological joints are held under compression and the weight of the handicapped limbs is dynamically neutralized. Operation of the scapular motor results in manipulation of the various physiological joints and use of the orthesis speeds recovery of sensitivity and mobility.
