Types of Orthoses

What is a Wrist Orthosis and a Finger Orthosis?

We offer orthotic solutions for wrists and hands designed to support, stabilize, correct, and heal conditions affecting your wrist, hand, or fingers. Our care team will help you find and fit the one that works best for you.

Orthotic Solutions for Wrists

If you have a serious wrist injury or suffer from a condition like cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or muscular dystrophy, a custom wrist orthotic solution (also known as a wrist splint) provides stability and protection, that giving you the best conditions for everyday movement.

Orthotic Solutions for Fingers

Our finger orthotic solutions are designed to stabilize your finger joints, relieving pain and proving dexterity and grip. They are most commonly used to treat injuries, nerve damage, deformities, or conditions like arthritis, osteoarthritis, hypermobility, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Depending on your injury or condition, your solution can be designed to restrict or encourage mobility.

Symptoms, Treatment, and Solutions

If you’re struggling with hand pain, you might find it difficult to grip objects, or you might experience discomfort when performing everyday tasks. Whether due to an injury, a condition like osteoarthritis, or a specific syndrome such as carpal tunnel syndrome, it’s important to listen to your body and seek appropriate care.

Symptoms

Hand pain can arise from various causes, including injuries, conditions like thumb osteoarthritis, or other changes in the hand’s structure. This pain can disrupt your daily activities and work, making it crucial to address the issue promptly.

Paying attention to your body’s signals and seeking help can significantly improve your quality of life.

Treatment

Your first step should be to consult a doctor to identify the root cause of your hand pain. If a supportive device like an orthosis is recommended, ForMotion can provide expert advice and customized orthotic solutions.

Our range of hand orthoses are designed to provide support, correct misalignments, and increase or limit mobility, depending on your needs. Whether you need a simple splint or a custom-fitted orthosis, our knowledgeable staff will work with you to find the best solution.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Thumb Osteoarthritis

Carpal tunnel syndrome, characterized by numbness and pain in the hand, can be effectively managed with a rigid wrist orthosis.

For thumb osteoarthritis, which often affects older individuals, we offer orthoses that provide relief, prevent misalignment, and support the thumb joint, easing pain and discomfort.
