?:definition
  • Therapeutic metacarpo-phalangeal (MP) joint finger orthoses consisting of a semi-rigid structure (splint) that are designed for external modification of the functional characteristics of the fingers by a controlled restriction of movement of the MP joints during therapeutic treatments. These devices also help keep functional structure while restricting flexion and pulling the fingers radially. These orthoses typically consist of a plastic splint applied to the palm and fingers that includes finger separators which support the MP joints in a neutral position. Alignment splints are used mainly to alleviate pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients with ulnar deviation; the splint is frequently intended for night use.
