A method and system for creating a custom-fit orthopedic cast comprises obtaining at least one measurements taken from at least one image of a body part, selecting a template cast, modifying the template cast according to the measurements taken from the at least one image to generate a custom cast model and rendering a custom cast based on the custom cast model.

A compression garment for providing an adjustable pressure towards a body part is disclosed. The compression garment comprises a unitary single sheet of elastic material arranged to encircle the full circumference of a body part, such as a limb or the head. The sheet is folded or arranged to be folded in at least one predefined way, so that the folding forms one or more defined overlap(s) forming at least two overlaying layers of the sheet encircling the full circumference of a part of the body part. Hereby, the pressure profile of the garment can easily be adjusted by making use of the garment in different folded configurations. Markings may further be provided to provide guidance towards the predefined ways of folding.

An exercise support structure includes a knee support having a tiered recess with a bottom wall, a lower circular tier, and an upper egg-shaped tier; and a wrist support having a tiered support structure with a bottom wall, a lower egg-shaped tier and an upper circular tier, where the knee support and the wrist support are complementary in shape and are interfittingly received in mated relation to form a block.The edges of the tiers may be beveled, forming a smooth transition therebetween.The structure may be made from a soft, durable resilient material, such as foam, silicone gel, rubber, synthetic rubber, or organic tree sap.

A medical compression garment for applying compression to a patient's body part comprises a first material (3) adapted to be wrapped around the body part, and a second material fixated on a section of the first material (3), wherein the second material (4) collapses the first material (3) such that the first material (3) forms wrinkles (5) along the section.

A brace for treating/preventing carpal tunnel injury including a body having a proximal end and a distal end defining s longitudinal direction, the body including a forearm support at the body proximal end, a wrist support coupled to the forearm support by a neck portion, the wrist support comprising a first palmar strap support, a first member and a second member extending from the wrist support in the longitudinal direction towards the distal end, a distal palmar support, a proximal palmar aperture, a palm band having a second palmar strap support, and a palmar strap, extending between a proximal end attached to the first palmar strap support to a distal end, the palmar strap configured to extend across a portion of the back of the hand and over a purlicue of the hand, the distal end of the palmar strap configured to removably attach to the distal palmar support.

An orthosis for the support of a joint, adapted to the thumb or wrist, comprising: sleeve-like main member made of an elastic material, adapted to envelop the joint and distal and proximal limb portions on either side of the joint, elastically deformable panel housed in a pocket formed in the main member, and non-elastic bracing device for bracing the main member and a proximal portion of the panel around the proximal limb portion, the panel being configured such that, over at least 50% of the length of the main member along the limb portions, including a limb portion covered by the bracing device, the panel has a cross-section occupying more than 30% of the perimeter of the underlying limb, the panel having a stiffness defined by a Young's modulus between 5 and 10 MPa, while the material forming the main member has a stiffness of a lower order of magnitude.

The present disclosure describes soft-robotic wearable devices to treat and/or relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for example during typing assist applications. Soft actuators within the device adjust the angle of the wearer's wrist angle dynamically to achieve a neutral angle, alleviating the pressure on the median nerve and relieving Carpal Tunnel Syndrome strain.

A brace for treating or preventing carpal tunnel injury includes a body having a proximal end and a distal end. The body includes a forearm support at the proximal end and a wrist support coupled to the forearm support by a neck portion. The wrist support includes a first palmar strap support. A first member and a second member extend from the wrist support towards the distal end. The body also includes a distal palmar support, a proximal palmar aperture, a palm band having a second palmar strap support, and a palmar strap. The palmar strap extends across a portion of the back of the hand and over a purlicue of the hand.

A light therapy apparatus includes a pad comprising at least a first layer and a second layer and a side scattering light guide mounted between the first layer and the second layer and having a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end extend in parallel with each other externally from the pad, the side scattering light guide extends from at least one of the first end or the second end in a sinusoidal shape or an inward extending circular spiral between the first layer and the second layer, and at least one of the first layer or the second layer is translucent.

A hemostatic device includes a covering member for covering a dorsal side of a patient's hand, the covering member including a hole through which a puncture site on the hand where bleeding is to be stopped, is exposed. The hemostatic device further includes a pressing member configured to apply a compression force to the puncture site when the pressing member is positioned over the site and fixed to the covering member, a fixing member configured to fix the pressing member to the covering member, and a support member configured to support the hand when the pressing member applies the compression force to the puncture site. At least a portion of the support member faces the hole portion with the hand interposed therebetween, when the covering member is disposed on the dorsal side of the hand.
