static splints Flashcards
purpose of static splints
immob or support
minimize deformity and contractures
allow attachment of AD
block a segment
what is a c-bar
pos hand in C for functional pos
what is a connector bar
connects diff parts of a splint or other splints
what is a cross bar
connects opposing sides of a splint
what is a cuff or strap
secures splint - snugg fit
PT can adjust
weakest part of splint
what is a deviation bar

ulnar drift, zigzag
what is a pan and thumb through

pan - 2-5

what is a forearm through
can be dorsal or volar
supports FA
what is are anatomical bars
gives supp to anatomical landmarks
basta kung san sha yan yung name
what is a thumb post

di sila nakadikit - prevents further motion
provides elevation

discuss DIP finger orthosis
can be
- static or dynamic
- volar or dorsal
- joint crossed: DIP
static volar DIP ext splint
discuss PIP finger orthosis
static 3 point - ring orthosis
boutonniere - 2 loops at volar
swan neck - 2 loops at dorsal
discuss hand orthosis
MCP region - ulnar drift
static dorsal hand orthosis c an MP block
discuss universal cuff
attachement for spoons ganun
discuss wrist cock-up splint
maintains wrist in neutral or mildly extended
immob wrist while allowing full MCP flexion and thumb mobility
contraindications for wrist cock up splint
active MCP synovitis
joint inflammation resulting to volar subluxation and ulnar dev
disadvantages for wrist cock up splint
interferes c tactile sensibility of palmar surface of hand
dorsal strap can impede lymphatic flow
discuss dorsal wrist cock up splint
dorsal support
stronger supp of wrist and frees up palm for sensory input
distributes pressure over larger dorsal wrist surface area
better for edematous hand
discuss resting hand splint
immob to reduce sx - spastic pt
pos in functional alignment
retards further deformity
discuss thumb spica splint
help stab thumb - thumb post and opponens bar
DQV
discuss antispasticity splints
also for burns
volar or dorsal based platform
finger spreader - prevents adduction contracture in burns pt
discuss airplane splints
for pedia and shoulder or thoracic burns
