Custom Static Progressive Wrist Flexion and Extension Orthosis

Hand and wrist stiffness is associated with trauma and immobilization, which leads to adaptive tissue shortening, scarring, and ultimately loss of passive range of motion (Schultz-Johnson, 2002). In addition, edema, pain inhibition, and early protection after an injury contribute to this presentation. Collagen cross-linking of tissue layers after trauma seems to be the source of reduced tissue elasticity and glide, which results in stiffness (Skirven et al., 2011) Various techniques
