Sometimes we
take for granted the use of our fingers,
hands and arms and forget how critical they
are to our success in both work and play. If
you experience persistent aches or can’t use
your arm and hand as before, you may feel
depressed and uncertain about what to do.
Pain, overuse and fractures can disrupt your
life, and if not treated properly can lead
to chronic pain and even a secondary injury.
Upper extremity orthotics describe orthoses,
braces and supports designed for the
shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist and hand and can
be used for a range of needs from stability
to immobilization and include three main
areas of orthoses: Upper extremity soft
supports, upper extremity positional
supports and upper extremity fracture
orthoses.
Upper Extremity Soft Supports : Often
referred to as soft goods, these orthoses
include those braces that are
fabricated/manufactured from neoprene,
canvas, and fabric and can be reinforced
with metal/plastic stays for additional
support.
Upper Extremity Positional Supports :
These orthoses are designed to position the
upper extremity, including wrist, arm and
shoulder, so as to prevent unwanted
contractures, maintain proper alignment, and
to provide controlled range of motion
physical and occupational therapy.
Fracture Orthoses : The type of the
fracture and the location determines what
type of orthosis is appropriate. If the
fracture site is near a joint it is often
common to stabilize above and below the
affected area to reduce unwanted motion at
the fracture site.
