Dynamic shoulder abduction splint.
The purpose of this splint is to provide a dynamic modification of a static abduction splint. Many times with injuries involving the shoulder, immobilization causes restriction of shoulder motion. A dynamic splint will provide support for the weakened or paralyzed abductors, while allowing movement in internal and external rotation, horizontal abduction and adduc tion. This type of orthosis wo...
متن کاملAn adjustable splint for forearm supination.
The adjustable supination splint is used in select cases in which traditional mobilization therapy is not productive in supination gains. The success of the splint varies depending on many factors, including the type and severity of the injury; the timing of the intervention; the patient's age; and the patient's tolerance of and compliance with the treatment program.

متن کاملBilateral Arm-Abduction Shoulder Radiography to Determine the Involvement of the Scapulothoracic Motion in Frozen Shoulder
Background: We hypothesize that there is no difference in the motion of the scapula with respect to the thoracic wall (scapulothoracic interface) between the affected versus non-affected shoulder on 0° and 90° standard arm abduction radiography. Methods: We enrolled 30 patients with the diagnosis of unilateral frozen shoulder after ruling out of other pathologies. Bilateral standard should...
متن کاملShoulder abduction fatiguability.
Shoulder abduction fatiguability has been measured using a hand held myometer in normal subjects and patients with peripheral neuromuscular diseases. An index of fatiguability was based on the decline in force over a series of ten maximum voluntary contractions performed in under a minute. The technique was repeatable and well tolerated. Patients with myasthenia, mitochondrial myopathy and moto...
متن کاملSoft splinting with neoprene: the thumb abduction supinator splint.
Thermoplastics are useful for many types of splints, but most splints made from them position the hand statically and have the disadvantage of limiting the sensory feedback that occurs during normal use and movement. Neoprene is an alternative to thermoplastics when dynamic mobility in splinting is the goal. Neoprene is soft, stretchable, lightweight, durable, nontoxic, machine-washable, and ha...
