Elbow upper-limb orthoses designed for maximum restriction of movements and/or total immobilization of the elbow joint. These orthoses may consist of a variety of devices worn by the person, typically including a semi-rigid foam or lightweight plastic structure with aluminum stays and closure straps. Elbow upper-limb immobilizers are used during rehabilitation after surgery or trauma; dedicated splints intended for use as elbow immobilizers are also available.
