Often times treating an upper extremity injury requires the use of a custom splint or brace. Our certified hand therapists can properly match splint material and splint design to your specific injury. Splinting techniques are used to influence healing, minimize the development of restrictive scar tissue, maintain hand function and reduce pain.
Depending on the patient and the severity of the injury, a custom splint can be effective in:
• Preventing joint motion
• Maintaining joint motion
• Enhancing joint motion
• Preventing deformity
• Correcting a deformity
