ABSTRACT:
A hand splint with mechanism for securing it to a patient's forearm, and including a palmar hand support and plural articulated finger supports to support and immobilize each finger and the thumb independently of each other. A connection is provided between the portion of the hand splint which secures the forearm and the portion which supports the hand, to allow a variable rotation at the wrist joint which can be locked to maintain the position. Similar connections permit a locked degree of variable flexion or extension for each individual finger and thumb. Each finger support includes a plurality of finger guides assembled in sequence with the most proximal being rigidly secured to the hand support. The finger guides include articulating connections, supports for the finger or thumb, and securing bands. Individual articulated connections allow variable degrees of movement which can then be locked into desired position.
