Resting Hand Splint

A resting hand splint is a rigid or semi-rigid orthotic device primarily worn during periods of rest or sleep (often at night).
Its function is to support and immobilize the wrist, hand, and fingers in a neutral, functional position, which helps to:
Reduce pain and inflammation in conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis or acute injury.
Prevent or manage contractures and soft tissue shortening, especially in conditions involving spasticity (e.g., post-stroke).
Maintain proper joint alignment to prevent progressive deformity.
Made from materials like thermoplastic or padded foam, it provides gentle, prolonged support to promote healing and preserve tissue length.
