In the last one year, we have prescribed upper extremity orthoses for 31 cases. For 21 out of 31 cases, the orthoses were completed by the orthotic manufacturer. Usually it takes one week to two weeks to complete them, and we sometimes miss a proper chance of treatment. So, we have developed a rapidly constructable wrist-hand orthosis.
The futures of the orthosis are as follows.
1) It is easy to be constructed by a doctor in charge.
2) It can be indicated to various diseases of wrist and hand involvement.
3) Either dynamic or static orthosis can be completed within a short period of time.
