Total upper-limb orthoses designed to provide support and some degree of movement restriction to an upper limb. These orthoses consist of a variety of devices that assist the support and positioning of the upper limb, and may be worn by the person and/or attached to furniture, a structure, or wheelchair. Total upper-limb support orthoses are frequently used to assist the limb by positioning it in an appropriate position; dedicated upper-limb supports (e.g., slings, humeral cuffs, lapboards) are available.
