Hand - Wrist - Finger Orthoses FAQs

What are hand - wrist - finger orthoses?

Hand - Wrist - Finger Orthoses are medical devices designed to provide support and prevent further injury to weakened or injured hands, wrists, and fingers. These devices can be static or include joints for progressive stretching. They are typically used to help patients maintain range of motion and prevent contracture. There are several different types of hand, wrist, and finger splints available, including those that immobilize the wrist and others that offer more targeted support to individual fingers.

Who can benefit from using hand - wrist - finger orthoses?

Hand-Wrist-Finger Orthoses can benefit individuals who have weakened or injured hands, wrists, or fingers. This includes people with conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cerebral palsy, and strokes. Hand-wrist-finger orthoses may also be used after injuries such as fractures to provide support and aid in healing. Moreover, individuals with neurological conditions that affect muscle strength and control may benefit from orthoses to help them maintain proper hand and wrist alignment and prevent further damage.

How is a hand - wrist - finger orthoses fitted?

When it comes to hand-wrist-finger orthoses, prefabricated options are frequently available with standard sizing. These lightweight orthoses often use foam, plastic, or metal construction, providing patients with support and stabilization for the affected area. In some cases, these orthoses come equipped with adjustable straps or Velcro closures that can be tailored to the patient's needs. To ensure a proper fit, it is essential to measure the circumference of your hand and wrist. For wrist braces, make sure to measure around the knuckles at the widest part of the hand, while measuring around the middle knuckle is best for finger splints. By using these measurements, you will be able to find the right size orthosis for your recovery. Bear in mind that using the proper size and fit is crucial for both optimal support and preventing further injury.
