Diabetes is a significant chronic health condition, with 4.3 million officially diagnosed cases in the UK, and an estimated 5 million people living with diabetes, when undiagnosed cases are included. Of these, Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, accounting for over 90% of all adult cases. While the disease predominantly affects people over the age of 40, an estimated 148,000 younger people also have the condition. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way that the human body metabolites glucose, arising from insulin resistance. As the disease progresses, the body’s cells become resistant to the effects of insulin, which means that more insulin is needed to help glucose enter the cells. There are various causes of the disease, including pancreatic dysfunction, lifestyle factors such as obesity or poor diet, and family history. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, in which the body does not produce insulin, people with Type 2 diabetes do produce insulin, but the body does not use it effectively. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through lifestyle changes, e.g. by avoiding excessively sugary food. However, people with Type 1 diabetes usually require a daily insulin injection, combined with regular testing.

Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT

Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT

The Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT is a dynamic extension brace for patients with Dupuytren’s contracture. Please note, as the Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT will need to be prescribed and fitted by a medical professional, please contact us for more information as to where you can access this hand brace to treat Dupuytren’s contracture.   The Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT functions as a dynamic extension device specifically engineered for Dupuytren's contracture management. Its proprietary design delivers precise extension forces to affected digits through an advanced leaf spring mechanism that gently stretches contracted cords. Regular application for prescribed intervals maintains consistent extension pressure, potentially reducing contracture angles or halting progression. The Push ortho Hand Orthosis DPT serves effectively as primary conservative intervention or as an adjunctive therapy component, with applications in both preoperative and postoperative protocols. Usage duration and frequency are calibrated according to condition severity to optimize therapeutic outcomes. Treatment goal: Contracture reduction as primary therapy Complementing other treatments by reducing (residual) contractures Helping to slow the progression of an early or existing contracture Contributing to the maintenance of results after contracture treatment Remain comfortable and move freely during therapy Prescribing a treatment plan means patients can have treatment in their own environment, while still being able to perform activities of normal daily living. Following an initial settling-in period, the extension force applied by the orthosis can be adjusted to suit. For the remaining treatment, a balance is struck between duration of wearing sessions, and patient comfort.
