The Wrist Fingers Anti-Spasmodic Orthosis is a rehabilitation device designed to manage hand spasticity, prevent finger flexion spasms, and correct joint deformities. It is primarily used for patients recovering from strokes, cerebral palsy, or other neurological impairments that cause muscle stiffness or “claw hand”.
- Anti-Deformity Positioning: Positions the wrist and fingers in a neutral or slightly extended state to maintain the length of soft tissue and prevent joint contractures.
- Adjustable Components: Some variations feature built-in curved aluminum strips or adjustable tension springs to provide customized resistance for training finger and wrist strength.
- Material and Comfort: Often constructed with breathable fabric, neoprene, or thermoplastic materials, it includes soft padding or terry cloth liners to absorb moisture and increase comfort during extended wear.
- Universal Fit: Most models are designed to be “one size fits most” and are compatible with both left and right hands.

Therapeutic Benefits
- Spasm Prevention: Effectively prevents fingers from “balling up” by separating and splaying them.
- Muscle Maintenance: Helps control thenar eminence (thumb muscle) atrophy and reduces muscle tension.
- Rehabilitation Support: Suitable for post-operative exercises, tendon repairs, and managing radial nerve injuries like “drop hand”.
- Passive and Active Training: Certain designs allow for passive stretching or active strengthening through adjustable spring-loaded mechanisms.
