Band Spool; Application Of Elastic Bands - jaeco WREX Setup Instructions

Application of Elastic Bands

The number of bands varies depending on the weight of the clients arm and their
strength
The optimal number of bands allows for the client to move through their
maximal range of movement. The client must be able to return to starting
location to avoid the arm floating in space without control.
JAECO supplies three sizes of elastic bands:
Blue: Large
Red: Medium
Beige: Light
Note: Start with the largest bands then use the smaller bands to "fine tune" the
clients movements.
1. Supporting the clients arm at the elbow with
one hand, loop elastic bands one at a time
over the Band Spools on the Humeral
Elevating Links until the arm begins to "float" in
space.
2. Supporting the clients forearm with on hand,
loop elastic bands one at a time over the Band
Spools on the Forearm Link until the client is
able to easily flex and extend their elbow.
