AMADEO is used for individuals with impaired hand function due to neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other disorders affecting the upper limb. It is suitable for patients across different stages of rehabilitation, from those with minimal voluntary movement to those working towards more functional hand use. Real-life goals that may be targeted include:
Grasping and releasing everyday objects (e.g. cups, utensils)
Improving the ability to hold and manipulate items during daily tasks
Increasing independence in personal care activities (e.g. dressing, grooming)
Enhancing participation in functional activities such as writing or using devices
The device supports structured, repetitive training that contributes to improved strength, coordination, and functional hand use as part of a wider rehabilitation programme.
We accept self-referrals and referrals from Medico-Legal, health and social care professionals and the charity sector.
Please note: While the locations listed show where each device is normally available, some smaller pieces of equipment are occasionally shared between centres. Larger devices remain at their designated locations. For specific requests, please contact us, and we will advise on availability or alternatives.
