ABSTRACT:
A hand orthosis has a base member including wrist, hand, and finger portions and a cover on the base member. A cylindrical pouch is pivotally secured to the cover adjacent the hand portion and is normally movably positioned adjacent the finger portion. The pouch has an opening therein adapted to receive a detachable cylindrical pad. The cylindrical pad in the pouch has a securing element to secure the pouch in a pivotal position on the orthosis adjacent the finger portion in a position to accommodate the patient's thumb. A strap element is on the outside of the pouch to extend over the thumb of the patient wearing the orthosis to retain the thumb of the patient whose hand and fingers are supported on the hand and finger portions of the orthosis.
