The Bamboo Brace is a flexible pediatric arm brace that is placed around the elbow joint for children with cerebral palsy and other developmental challenges. The Bamboo Brace assists children in maintaining a more extended position at the elbow so that both gross and fine motor skills are easier to perform, learn and repeat.

Features:
* Unique design with 5 flexible and interchangeable stays that adjusts to varying amounts of spasticity/instability
* Affordable option to bulky and expensive custom molded orthotics
* Sleek, snug design fits children from infancy through early grade school years
* Lightweight, durable, washable
* FDA approved and CPSIA compliant
* Created and designed by pediatric therapists

Benefits:
* The Bamboo Brace promotes independent motor control of the trunk, shoulder, wrist and hand without elbow interference.
* The Bamboo Brace assists the arm(s) with weight bearing, crawling and transitions to standing in both children with cerebral palsy and those with low muscle tone.
* The Bamboo Brace enhances equilibrium, balance and protective reactions within all developmental positions and upright activities.


Who Can Benefit From Using It?

Any child who either has a predominant flexion (bending) pattern at the elbow that is slowing development or who may need more stability at the elbow to bear weight for crawling and other developmental activities.

Why Is It Helpful?

By better aligning the elbow joint in a flexible dynamic way, The Bamboo Brace allows children to learn to use the separate joints of the arm (shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand) and trunk individually without as much interference from unhelpful flexion patterns.

As children learn to control each joint separately their freedom of motion, strength and function improves to make activities like rolling, sitting, crawling standing and walking more possible.
