Omo Neurexa is a comfortable shoulder orthosis which corrects and stabilises the paretic shoulder thereby easing rehabilitation.Omo Neurexa is recommended for use at an early stage in rehabilitation, along with functional and specific muscle training as well as correct use of the arm. However, Omo Neurexa is also extremely effective when used later on in the rehabilitation process.Omo Neurexa needs to be fitted by a therapist/CPO. The patient will require assistance for correct application. Relatives or caregivers should receive detailed instructions regarding proper use.

Omo Neurexa was developed and tested by Ottobock in collaboration with Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Hesse, Berlin. The product was specifically engineered for patients suffering from shoulder pain and dysfunction (including subluxation) due to neurological conditions such as:

• Hemiplegia
• Shoulder pain due to paralysis of musculature in the shoulder area
• Plexus brachialis injuries
• Peripheral nerve damage in the area of the cervical spine and shoulder.

Shoulder pain and dysfunction frequently occurs among patients suffering from hemiplegia. In case of flaccid paralysis, the humeral head is often poorly positioned (subluxation); this can result in pain, reflexive muscle dysfunction, and secondary joint damage.
