Spasticity from a Cerebral Origin, CP, CVA – Pediatric
Clinical Problem: Spasticity, good passive range
but lacking reach, grasp and pinch and active
supination (hemiplegia)
Ultraflex Solution: Custom Molded EWHO - First Flex

Clinical Goal: Improve reach, grasp, pinch and release and active and passive supination with flexion.
Evaluation/Casting: Initial casting limb posture - finger, wrist and elbow flexed and forearm in maximum pronation. Cast segmentally distal to proximal. First flex MPs and straighten fingers and cast, then cast opposed thumb in partial abduction isolating maximum web space and to achieve a good palmar arch, cross and cast flexed wrist, then correct forearm to maximum supination (keeping elbow flexed to use all muscle “slack” to achieve maximum supination); continue casting to axilla.
