A wrist and hand orthosis functions as a mechanical, wearable medical device that supports weak or damaged parts of the forearm, wrist, and hand while also serving to correct orthopedic maladjustments with both mobile and immobile functionality.
Also known as hand splints, wrist orthoses, ulnar deviation correction splints, and hand orthoses, a wrist and hand orthosis is often customized to more specifically meet the unique needs of each child.
