ASS TECH - UE & LE Flashcards
It positions the thumb in opposition
C-bar
It doesn’t give joint mobilization but it prevents contracture
C-bar
It is the connector from the main splint to the segmental part of orthosis (PIP joints)
Connector bar
Used as a support to hold the position of an orthosis, and to prevent falling and improper positioning
Cuff or strap
One of the basic components of UE orthosis that is usually attached at the fingers
Deviation bar
It can be used if an individual joint stabilization is not needed. It covers the whole hand and it can extend up to the distal portion of the forearm
Pan and Thumb through
Provide support on volar and dorsal surface of the forearm
Forearm through
Used to maintain the position of the thumb into flexion
Thumb post
This ue orthosis is applicable if there’s a fracture or tear present in the thumb
Thumb post
In this UE orthosis, no movement can occur
Blocks
Static three point orthosis for boutonniere deformity
Finger orthosis (PIP)
It is used or associated with other assistive devices
Universal Cuff
It maintains the wrist in the neutral or mildly extended position
Wrist Cock-Up Splint
This UE orthosis has a free surface on palmar side and the dorsal receives the pressure
Dorsal Wrist Cock-up Splint
This UE is used when immobilization is needed to reduce symptom of pt c problems on wrist movements
Resting Hand Splint
All rotational movements of the thumb will be stabilized
Thumb Spica Splint
This orthosis is molded depending on the size of the pt’s FA
Anti-Spasticity Splint
The most basic UE orthosis
Shoulder slings
This UE orthosis prevents rotation movement of the humerus
Humeral fracture base
Orthosis that is applicable for pt c burns
Airplane splints
These are used to substitute for loss of motor function, to correct an existing deformity, provide a controlled directional movement, and to aid in fx alignment and wound healing.
Dynamic Splints
A.k.a dynamic radial nerve splint
Dynamic Finger Extension Splint
It passively extend the MCP to 0° and has a relatively less obstructive shape as compared to the outrigger design
Dynamic Finger Extension Splint
It passively extends wrist while allowing wrist flexion
Dynamic Wrist Extension Splint
UE orthosis/splint used to passively flex the 4th - 5th MCPS and to prevent shortening of the collateral ligaments
Dynamic Ulnar Nerve Splint
Dynamic spring wire splint for PIP extension
Capener Splint
It is used to apply stretch to tissues surrounding the oral cavity while permitting speech
Anti-microstomial splint
