?:definition
  • Orthoses designed to stabilize the hand, provide hand immobilization and/or support while keeping its functional structure and position while permitting the movement of the fingers and thumb. These orthoses typically consist of a device that is placed encircling the distal segment of the forearm and is attached to a rigid component used to support the hand. Hand orthoses are used mainly in patients with severe weakness or complete paralysis of the hand muscles. Static hand orthoses used for therapeutic purposes (e.g., to avoid hyperextension) and/or including attachments intended for functional activities are also available.
