Towards a new frontier in wrist rehabilitation: The traction-free posture orthosis
This study presents the novel Traction-Free Posture Orthosis, designed to address wrist stiffness without the use of traditional traction methods. The orthosis employs a velcro system to stabilize the position of the wrist in flexion or extension, thereby avoiding the compression and rotational disadvantages associated with non-perpendicular traction forces. Triangular-shaped cuts in the brace allow for plastic material flexibility, ensuring movement and comfort. Significant is the absence of a traction strap, which traditionally reduces the support surface and could create pressure points leading to patient discomfort or treatment rejection. The design facilitates a wide contact surface with the hand, optimal load distribution, and the capacity to adjust dual traction straps independently, adapting to the natural wrist movement. This single-piece base orthosis offers a stable, cost-effective, and patient-friendly alternative to conventional splints. However, patients with stiffness in both flexion and extension may require two separate orthoses, potentially increasing costs and patient inconvenience. Overall, the Traction-Free Posture Orthosis represents an innovative step in wrist rehabilitation, providing a quick-to-construct, easy-to-wear solution with the promise of enhanced patient compliance and comfort.
