Hi,
It seems elbow joints are damaged due to bone resorption. In such situations, instability is the main issues at elbows and hyper movements will affect the functions of upper limbs. There is orthosis with elbows joints locks are available which will be controlling excessive movement at elbows and provide stability. You are advised consulting orthopaedic expert and Orthotist to get a solution.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
