Therapeutic wrist-hand-finger orthoses designed for external modification of the structural and/or functional characteristics of the wrist joint, hand, and fingers that consist of a splint resembling a platform. These orthoses consist of a device that encircles the forearm and include both a both dorsal and a palmar (volar) wide platform structure (i.e., a splint), including adjustable solid stays attached along the hand and fingers to permit appropriate positioning of the wrist and fingers. Wide platform orthosis splints are used mainly for therapeutic treatments after surgery (e.g., arthroplasty surgery).
