- A cock-up wrist splint is a type of wrist hand orthosis which may be used to treat a wide range of conditions localized at or near the wrist and hand.
Design
Wrist splints are most commonly prefabricated with thermoplastics, cushion liners, and velcro and may contain metal or plastic stays. They vary in length and may or may not incorporate a thumb spica. [1] Generally, the wrist should be set in at least 20˚ of extension to prevent potential flexion contractures caused by prolonged use. [2]
Function
A wrist splint decreases recovery time by immobilizing, stabilizing, and protecting a healing injury. [3]
