silver ring hand arm finger splits

    Here is a site that makes hand and finger splints more aesthetically appealing!! They are pricey, but I feel people would wear them more! - This site has more of finger splints, but they are able to specially make finger and hand splints at a higher price. Also, you can get them in gold too. Sometimes, the insurances will pay for some of the cost!

    Silver ring splints are taking over tape. When I first heard of these finger splints being used for hypermobility syndrome about 10 years ago, I thought this was genius! Now they are expanding the use as well as studying to see the positive/negative uses for them. We now have boutonniere splints, as well as swan neck splints.

    SIRIS™ Boutonniere Splint for Hyperextension Use the SIRIS™ Boutonniere Splint for severe hyperextension (greater than 20 degrees) or when subluxation of the joint is occurring. This splint is worn with the oval spacer under the joint to block hyperextension while allowing full flexion.

    Treatments for disorders of the UE. There are pictures of the devices, the indicated diagnosis, purpose, and benefits. A great resource if you work in a clinic that does splinting/orthotics. These are custom fabricated and there are benefits associated with making your client's splints-removable, adjustable, reform-able, can get wet, and can be cleaned.

    This has so much information about splinting and comes with good pictures to show some different types and it comes from a hand therapy website.

    I mainly have this in here for the pictures of the splints. They have several different kinds and they look way better than the ones we made in lab lol.

    We talked about thermostatic splints today in class. Thermostatic splints are lighter, can be removed for cleaning, and can easily be molded to the client's body. This page shows the different types of thermostatic splints that are available, and what the cost would be. The splints are not cheap, but if the client will need the splint for a long period of time it could be a cost effective option.

    Basic Principles of Splinting Splint in and of itself is an art form. Each splint is created, molded and should fit each unique patient. These are just some basic principles to splinting.

    I found this pinterest page that has a bunch of different splints on it. I just thought after the lab yesterday, it was cool to see more kinds of them. Since this is a pinterest page, i am not sure if all the splints are correct in their descriptions, but I did think these were very cool to see.

    This article is written from the perspective of a patient. She talks about how she has worn both soft and working splints for various injuries. She recommends getting your splint fitted by an occupational therapists but also mentions tips that would be helpful to consider when providing a splint to a future patient (such as keeping a log of questions or problems).

    Immobilizing your hand at night can be very crucial for some patients. I thought this website on how to make a homemade splint was very interesting and quite simple to make. I would recommend asking the doctor or therapist before using it, But some people prefer to do for themselves and this could be a good thing for that. Also you could incorporate the splint making in an actual therapeutic activity.

    I found this study on the AJOT archives, its an old study but I just found it interesting in talking about the difference they saw in soft vs hard splints for RA patients. The overall preference for patients were the soft splints.

    Have you ever wondered what the difference is of the "hump" on a computer mouse? I have honestly never given it much thought, until I read this article. There is a front hump and rear hump. This particular article talked about which would be better for someone wearing a wrist splint. In this day and age carpal tunnel is a huge problem for many people and they have to wear wrist splints while working on the computer. So which is better? Read and find out!

    A very interesting article about OT and treatment of burns. In her case OT started after the patient was stable and able to do therapy every day. She states that the healing process can take years for the patient. Scar care, compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting, ROM, and strengthening were all discussed. It was noted that scar tissue and adhesions are very painful. A very important point was the planning for discharge and taking in all aspects of independence.

    This article was written by a therapist working in acute rehabilitation. She talks about compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting and why it's important, stretching for range of motion and strengthening.

    This is an amazing article that explains how OT works with burn victims. I loved the fact that the OT and PT visited the burn unit before transfusing.

    "OT in the Burn Unit" is an article written by Sarina Piergrossi which outlines her first experience as an OT with a burn victim. She describes the process she underwent to insure proper treatment for this patient in the different stages of care required by burn victims. The different treatment types described include compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting, ROM/strengthening and conditioning exercises, and then planning for discharge. Another service offered at Kessler Institute (where this therapist worked) is they allow the patients to travel out into the community with a therapist in order to assess future needs with ambulation, wheelchair mobility, etc. It was very interesting to know that this OT felt at a little anxious about receiving her first burn victim as I am feeling the same sense of anxiety regarding treating patients for the first time as we head out into our field work.

    Many oncology patients also experience burns. OT works with these patients as well as other burn trauma patients. I'm finding that I really like this website as I have used it for several other bookmarks. In this article, an OT practitioner breaks down specific intervention techniques that an OT may do with a burn victim as well as planning for discharge. She also discusses how she co-treated with a PT practitioner on her first burn patient which was interesting to read about a treatment team working together.
  • amicarr on 06 Nov 15
     
    Burn care is a highly specialized field. It can be intimidating. There is a lot to learn and be aware of. Read this article to see how a young therapist treated his first burn victim. This is also an example of co-treating with PT. I personally love the idea of co-treatment. Two are usually better than one.

    This is an excellent article detailing OT's involvement in the treatment of burns. Different settings and invention techniques are outlined. Great resource for anyone working with burns.

    This article gives information about the cycle of treatment (entering acute rehab, compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting, ROM, strengthening & conditioning, and planning for discharge) for burn patients in acute rehab.
