Upper Limb Orthotics
Wrist Brace
A wrist brace is used to provide support, stability, and pain relief for individuals with wrist injuries or conditions. It helps immobilize the wrist joint to prevent further strain, reduce inflammation and promote healing by limiting movement that could exacerbate the injury. Wrist braces are commonly used for managing symptoms of conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, or wrist sprains, as well as during the recovery phase from fractures or surgery. By stabilizing the wrist and maintaining proper alignment, a wrist brace can alleviate discomfort, enhance functional recovery, and support daily activities.
Elbow Brace
An Elbow ROM (Range of Motion) brace is designed to provide controlled movement and support to the elbow joint during rehabilitation or recovery from injury or surgery. This specialized brace allows for precise adjustment of the elbow's range of motion, facilitating gradual and safe movement within a prescribed range. It helps protect the joint, promote healing and prevent stiffness or contractures by ensuring that the elbow is exercised gently and progressively. Often used post-operatively or in the treatment of conditions like fractures, tendon injuries, or ligament repairs, the Elbow ROM brace aids in restoring functional movement and achieving optimal joint recovery.
Shoulder Brace
A shoulder immobilizer sling is designed to provide support and stabilize the shoulder joint after an injury, surgery, or to manage certain medical conditions. By securely holding the arm close to the body and limiting shoulder movement, the sling helps to reduce pain, prevent further injury, and promote healing by allowing the shoulder to rest in a protected position. It is commonly used for conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, dislocations, or post-operative recovery to ensure the shoulder remains in the optimal position for recovery and to assist in the healing process. The primary purpose of this sling is to maintain the shoulder in an abducted position, which can be crucial for healing and recovery from certain injuries or surgeries. It is commonly used after procedures such as rotator cuff repairs, shoulder dislocations, or fractures, as it helps to reduce strain on the shoulder, limit movement, and promote proper alignment
