The Economy Dorsal Wrist Support with a Universal Cuff from North Coast is a long opponens splint for spastic or weak wristswhich result from a spinal cord injury or stroke that aims to maximize wrist recovery while helping to secure a grip with small hand devices.
The leather orthosis device is lightweight and comfortable because it has a breathable and open design using lightweight and sturdy materials to support the wrist. Each device always has a stationary leather pocket built into the palmar strap. This feature intends to support and help grip silverware, pens, and other small utensils to help with actions like typing, writing, turning pages, and eating. The device's construction always has a bendable leather-covered metal dorsal support held together by adjustable leather straps.
The design of this orthosis splint is unique because it acts like a recovery device to support an injury while being an assistant device that accommodates eating difficulties associated with a poor grip. The lightweight materials and sturdy dorsal plate provide enough support to stabilize the arm while still maintaining some degree of motion. Likewise, the orthosis device allows you to position a drop wrist to a comfortable degree using the dorsal plate and leather straps. This helps guarantee a degree of comfort while being able to adjust the grip and placement of the wrists. Gripping can become a simple task because the built-in palm pocket and lightweight materials make this easy to manipulate.
