Troubleshooting Tips - Saebo MAS mini Product Manual

Option #3:
Same as Option 2, however, for the SaeboFlex,
consider threading the strap under the bead
lines for the fingers and thumb
(see Figure 18).
Trouble Shooting Tips
1. If the user exhibits decrease wrist extension strength (i.e., wrist drop) consider applying a wrist
brace for added support.
2. If the user exhibits increased tone at the elbow flexors, it may be difficult to perform
movements requiring elbow extension. To maximize the extension at the elbow, consider the
following strategies:
a. Electrical stimulation on the triceps
b. Elbow air splint
c. Manual facilitation
d. EMG/biofeedback
3. During elbow flexion activities, the elbow may shift/migrate while using the Elbow Stop. For
these instances, consider securing the elbow to the Elbow Support by using a Velcro strap
