Therapeutic wrist orthoses designed for external modification of the functional characteristics of the wrist joint. This permits a limited and adjustable limited range of flexion motion of the joint. These orthoses are prefabricated devices typically consisting of semi-rigid articulated devices that include forearm and hand straps, and an adjustable mechanical joint placed at the wrist to regulate the range of the joint flexion. Flexion dynamic therapy wrist orthoses are used to treat patients suffering from hyperextension deformity of the wrist.
