ABSTRACT:
A range-of-motion splint for applying torque to a wrist joint of a patient is described. The range-of-motion splint is designed so that it provides for the natural motion of the wrist joint which is a three-dimensional motion including medial rotation of the hand at the wrist joint in conjunction with a flexion or extension motion of the wrist joint. The range-of-motion splint includes a palm plate for supporting a palm of the patient. First pivot means pivotally connects a hand bracket to the palm plate such that the palm plate is capable of moving laterally with respect to the hand bracket. Second pivot means pivotally connects a wrist bracket to the hand bracket. Torque applying means is connected to the hand bracket and the wrist bracket for applying torque between the hand bracket and the wrist bracket.
