Towards a new frontier in wrist rehabilitation: The traction-free posture orthosis

Blog Article

This study presents the novel Traction-Free Posture Orthosis, designed to address wrist stiffness without the use of traditional traction methods.The orthosis employs a velcro system to stabilize the position of the wrist in flexion or extension, thereby avoiding the compression and rotational disadvantages associated with sawgrass virtuoso sg500 complete sublijet sublimation printer kit non-perpendicular traction forces.Triangular-shaped cuts in the brace allow for plastic material flexibility, ensuring movement and comfort.Significant is the absence of a traction strap, which traditionally reduces the support surface and could create pressure points leading to patient discomfort or treatment rejection.The design facilitates a wide contact bostik roll-cote surface with the hand, optimal load distribution, and the capacity to adjust dual traction straps independently, adapting to the natural wrist movement.

This single-piece base orthosis offers a stable, cost-effective, and patient-friendly alternative to conventional splints.However, patients with stiffness in both flexion and extension may require two separate orthoses, potentially increasing costs and patient inconvenience.Overall, the Traction-Free Posture Orthosis represents an innovative step in wrist rehabilitation, providing a quick-to-construct, easy-to-wear solution with the promise of enhanced patient compliance and comfort.
