Maddak - Leg Wrap Positioning Aid Leg Wrap Positioning Aid from Maddak Inc. Assists Paraplegics and Others with Lower Extremity Weakness in Repositioning and Lifting the Legs. For paraplegics, physically lifting the leg requires significant upper body strength. And for many, especially those with upper extremity weakness and without someone to assist them, this can be a tremendous challenge. Maddak Inc., manufacturer of Ableware aids for daily living has introduced the new Leg Wrap Positioning Aid that provides an easier, safer way for people with little or no use of their legs to reposition and shift weight.
The Maddak - Leg Wrap Positioning Aid consists of three straps that attach to the user's leg in three places - the top of the upper thigh, above the knee and above the ankle - and two hand holds, which eliminate the need to tug on clothing and provide additional control over the leg. The legs are moved by grasping one or both hand holds by the hand or by hooking the arm through a hand hold. Matthew Magnifico, Project Manager for Maddak Inc., says "The device was developed to help people suffering from spinal cord injury or stroke, who tend to have weak triceps and biceps, by providing extra leverage in moving an otherwise very heavy and immobile limb." The Leg Wrap Positioning Aid is one-size-fits-all.
Instructions:
Place the top strap on top of the upper thigh and wrap it around your leg. If in a sitting position, you may find it easier to start where the leg is hanging off the chair and slide the device up to the desired position.
Fasten the strap by sliding the end through the buckle. Pull until the desired tightness is reached. The strap should be tight enough so that it provides a secure fit, but not too tight that it will be uncomfortable. The straps can be adjusted at anytime.
Notes:
For the right leg, start with the device across the top of the leg with the buckle on the outside of the leg
For the left leg, start with the device across the top of the leg with the buckle on the inside of the leg
Paula Bennett, a Senior Occupational Therapy Aid and the inventor of the Maddak - Leg Wrap Positioning Aid, added "The Leg Wrap is intended to remain on the leg throughout the day to provide assistance in performing daily activities. Many people first use it at a hospital or rehabilitation center and two to three years later tell us they are still using it; saying it makes life a lot easier and gives them better control of their legs. They tell stories about using it for transfers to and from locations as simple as wheelchairs, cars and bathroom settings as well as for more extreme activities such as four wheeling, boating or riding a tractor."
