The effects of orthopaedic hand injuries can be devastating to patients, affecting every aspect of their social, work, personal and family life.

“Injuries of the hand are common accounting for around a fifth of all emergencies presenting to emergency departments of most hospitals. In the UK, over £100 million is being spent per year in treating these injuries. Those that require more reconstruction, theatre time, stay in hospital and after care cost more. However indirect expense to the patients and the consequences of permanent disability are seldom considered.”

Therapist quotes; ‘The BTE PrimusRS is part of the Therapy team, and is invaluable in our daily therapy treatment.’ “The Primus speeds up recovery times, because you can focus the patient in on specific issues and give them feedback relating to their progress. Due to the evaluation mode it can also be used to aid diagnosis and reports compiled to help Consultants plan intervention.”

Patient quotes; “I now look forward to my hand rehabilitation therapy, because I can see my previous results on the screen and that helps to give me the incentive to do better each time...I just wish I could have a Primus at home and I would use it every day.” “The Primus has really helped bring the strength back to my injured hand and really gave me the confidence to return to work”

This equipment can be justified financially by; Speeding up recovery times Reducing numbers of treatment sessions required Reducing admin time for clinicians Used as an external income generator (eg. Fuctional Capacity Evaluations, baseline testing)

The Primus is the most advanced occupational therapy equipment/hand therapy equipment/physiotherapy equipment on the market today. It is widely used for hand rehab, and is developing into other areas such as sports rehabilitation. It provides both therapists and patients with continual feedback as to how treatment is progressing, - enabling problems to be identified earlier if patients are not progressing as expected, allowing treatment process to be altered / adapted more rapidly, which may in turn prevent further surgical input (financial implications to both patient and hospital)

Patients can relate some of the activities to their own specific goals set - ie driving, using manual tools, climbing ladders, playing golf etc...... This increased patients motivation as they are able to understand exactly why they are carrying out activities.
