handscupe® rheumatism is an ergonomically-shaped medical hand rest designed for the positioning of hands with pathological symptoms caused by rheumatic or rheumatism-like underlying diseases (e. g. lupus erythematosus), i.e. hands that require positioning.
Using handscupe® rheumatism can specifically support the treatment of rheumatic hand symptoms such as pain and impaired mobility / a restricted range of motion.
The ergonomically-shaped hand rest has been optimised for putting the hand in a neutral position in order to avoid contractures and fluid retention/congestion.
handscupe® rheumatism allows to put the hand and the fingers in a position, which can prevent congestion symptoms and contractures. Flexor and extensor muscles are positioned in a resting (neutral) position, thus enabling a preferably wide opening of the carpal tunnel and a normal blood circulation.
Impaired mobility and pain in the hands can be associated with rheumatic diseases. Such diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, polyarthritis of the fingers or spondyloarthritis with peripheral involvement.
handscupe® rheumatism may be applied to hands with intact skin, suffering from pathological diseases and therefore requiring regular resting.
Indications are defined by the attending physician.
An application has been made for inclusion in the GKV’s list of therapeutic appliances.
In cases of considerably deformed hands and fingers, respectively, the device should only be used after consulting the treating physician or therapist.
In any case, patients with persisting pain, fluid retention/congestion, or swelling should pause their treatment and consult the treating physician or therapist.
Adult patients with one of the indications described.
Users can be medical professionals and patients in an inpatient or outpatient setting.
With the device being used appropriately and the hand positioned correctly, no adverse reactions, intolerances, or allergic reactions have been reported to date.
In order to maintain the functionality of the handscupe® rheumatism, it should be handled carefully.
Inappropriate handling can impair the functionality of the handscupe® rheumatism.
The plastic product can be wiped off for disinfection and may only be cleaned with lukewarm water (30 °C) and soap.
The ergonomically-shaped hand rest ensures a simple handling.
The correct hand position on the handscupe® rheumatism is achieved by sitting down and laying your forearm on a firm surface (e.g. a table).
Please make sure that the fingers are positioned in the finger moulds.
In this way, the metacarpal region of the hand is supported by the bulge of the handscupe® rheumatism.
It is not crucial, where the finger tips are positioned exactly.
Treatment should be performed for a duration of at least 1x60 minutes or 2x30 minutes per day.
If you are feeling well, you can continue the treatment as long as you enjoy.
