Wrist immobilization splint provides what kind of support |
Volar, dorsal, ulnar, circumferential forearm, wrist, hand, radial |
|
|
Volar |
Used for circumstances have require rest are in mobile association of the wrist when the person still have muscle control of the wrist. Disadvantage is interference with tactile sensibility and grip. Dorsal straps may impede venous flow |
|
|
dorsal |
Better tolerated by persons with edema. can be use as a base for dynamic splinting. disadvantage sometimes leads to migration and suboptimal split performance |
|
|
Ulnar |
easy to don and doff. Sometimes used for CTS or for ulnar wrist pain |
|
|
Circumferential |
Prevent migration, provides good forearm support, controls edema, provides good pressure distribution, and avoid edge pressure disadvantage some people feel more confined |
|
|
List the features of the components of a wrist immobilization splint |
Forearm trough should be two thirds of the length of forearm and one half the circumference of forearm for proper pressure distribution hypothenar bar helps to place hand in neutral resting position preventing extreme ulnar deviation metacarpal bar supports the transverse metacarpal arch |
