A thumb brace (1) comprising a wire frame (2) having a palmar wire section (3) configured to extend in lateral direction from a web point (W) thereof between a thumb (T) and index finger (I) along a palmar region (4) toward an ulnar side of the hand. The palmar wire section (3) is connected to an ulnar wire section (7) and radial wire section (8), the ulnar wire section (7) being configured to extend from the ulnar side along a dorsal ulnar region (9) of the hand and wherein the radial wire section (8) is configured to extend from the web point (W) along a first dorsal interosseous region (10) of the hand. The wire frame (2) further comprises a ring shaped thumb wire section (11) for receiving the thumb (T), and wherein the palmar wire section (3) comprises a palm engaging portion (5) that widens in proximal-distal direction.

An adjustable finger splint having a main body and slide. The slide configured to move relative to the main body and including a wedge to apply variable pressure to an injured finger to cause the injured finger to extend or straighten. The main body having a proximal interphalangeal platform to support the proximal interphalangeal joint, a metacarpophalangeal platform to support the palm and metacarpophalangeal joint, and a slide platform to support the slide.

An orthopedic cock-up wrist brace and splint for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains, fractures, tendonitis, repetitive strain injury, osteoporosis, or other wrist injury. The splint having a specially designed hourglass shape formed using medical fit data in addition to established sizing data and refined after comprehensive studies and testing. The splint supplied as a stand-alone product or as part of a wrist brace system.

Provided is a wrist guard designed to press the radial and ulnar parts of a wrist toward the center of the wrist by means of a compression pad, so as to prevent side effects, such as hand numbness and swelling and effectively provide a fixing force of the wrist, thereby preventing the wrist from being excessively bent and alleviating wrist pain. The wrist guard allows a user to adjust the pressure load on the radial and ulnar parts of the wrist. It is possible to smoothly insert and assemble the pressing member into a coupling body, therefore improving operational feeling, the wrist guard may be stably used, and damage due to interference can be prevented. A stable pulling operation prevents wear and damage. As an excessive pressure load on the radial and ulnar regions is attenuated, the wrist guard is more convenient and comfortable.

In one embodiment, an orthotic gripper includes a flex sensor configured to detect flexion and extension of a wrist of a user of the gripper, and a gripping mechanism comprising a thumb link configured to attach to a thumb of the user and a finger link pivotally connected to the thumb link and configured to attach to one or more fingers of the user, the gripping mechanism being configured to move the finger link toward the thumb link when the flex sensor detects flexion of the wrist and to move the finger link away from the thumb link when the flex sensor detects extension of the wrist.

Some aspects of the present disclosure describe an orthopedic brace for a portion of a user's upper extremity distal to the elbow. The orthopedic brace includes a body configured to surround said portion of the user's upper extremity. The body includes a first region configured to stabilize said portion of the user's upper extremity. The orthopedic brace includes a second region coupled to the first region. The second region has sufficient elasticity to enable the body to adjust circumferentially to fit said portion of the user's upper extremity.

An inflatable splint can include a sleeve shaped to conform to a specific human body part and a plurality of inflatable chambers disposed on the sleeve. The sleeve, in cooperation with the plurality of chambers in an inflated condition, can be contoured to maintain the specific human body part in a desired position. A method of using an inflatable splint includes admitting a body part into a sleeve of the inflatable splint and positioning the sleeve around the body part One or more of the plurality of air chambers are selectively inflated such that the flexible sleeve in cooperation with the plurality of chambers in inflated condition is contoured and positioned to maintain the specific human body part in a desired position.

An injured musculoskeletal structure is mobilized relative to a juxtaposing support structure surface to isolate the injured musculoskeletal structure from forces transferred from adjoining musculoskeletal structures in order to alleviate pain, discomfort, inflammation, and further injury associated with such transferred forces.

An orthopedic cock-up wrist brace and splint for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains, fractures, tendonitis, repetitive strain injury, osteoporosis, or other wrist injury. The splint having a specially designed hourglass shape formed using medical fit data in addition to established sizing data and refined after comprehensive studies and testing. The splint supplied as a stand-alone product or as part of a wrist brace system.

A decorative splint material includes a moisture-curable material adapted to be wetted and molded into a splint configuration that conforms to an anatomical body part. The material hardens via a curing process to retain the splint configuration. The splint material includes a plurality of decorative elements integrated with the splint material. The decorative elements are provided on a substrate which is overlaid onto the moisture-curable material, and the substrate is overlaid with a flexible sheet having a plurality of openings which align with the decorative elements. The decorative elements are retained by the sheet of splint material when the sheet is wetted, molded into a splint configuration, and hardened.
