Tokens (WIMBA Therapy)

Token Selection

For each orthesis, you can order up to 3 sets of tokens. The selection should depend on the way you plan the therapy for the patient. It can be a rigid token to immobilize anatomical structures, a token that allows physiological range of movement, or a progressive therapy plan to gradually increase joint mobility, where you will be changing the tokens over time to allow more ROM.
You can select from tokens with angles predefined by us or customize them to the exact range needed.

How they work

Tokens' degrees describe maximal values of extension, NOT the range of motion (ROM). 

The digit you see in the app shows to which point (counting from 0° - full flexion) the limb will extend in orthosis.

e.g. 180° means that the token allows the limb to straighten up to 180 degrees.

However, 75° is the minimal flexion point (due to technological limitations of orthoses and tokens), so the flexion to point 0° (full flexion of the paw) will not be possible in the orthosis.

It means that the token with 180° flexion has the ROM of 105° (180° - 75°).

Such tokens can be used:

- to allow the dog to extend the joint to the physiological range, but not further

- as a mean of therapy - gradual increase of the range of movement depending on dog’s condition and needs

BLOCKERS

Those tokens are locked on a certain value. It means that this orthosis will be rigid, with zero movement range, blocked on the indicated degree.

Those can be used:

- as alternative to arthrodesis

- as a rigid bandage if there is a need to keep the paw rigid

 

Custom range tokens & blockers

Our app will offer you a certain selection of pre-defined token values (see below). However, we are aware that dogs come in all shapes and sizes and can have unique needs.

Hence there is a possibility to create your own, custom tokens - both with range of motion or blocked on specific value.

This way you can ensure that the therapy will be absolutely individual and adjusted to your patients' needs!
