ABSTRACT:
An improved splint/therapeutic device for at least partially limiting the mobility of a selected portion of a patient's body. The device (10) includes a splint body (12) fabricated of a resilient material, the splint body (12) defining an inner surface (18) for engaging the patient's body. The splint body (12) also defines a preselected flexibility whereby the resilient material of the splint body biases the patient's body to a desired body position and provides a preselected degree of mobility. The splint/therapeutic device (10) is secured to the patient's body with securing means such as tape, integrally formed body encircling portions (26'), or with securing straps (26) provided with hook-and-loop fasteners (28).
