A Plastic Tenodesis Splint; Preliminary Evaluation of a Functional Brace for a Paralyzed Hand with Effective Wrist Extensors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A paralyzed hand with some power in the wrist can he made functional by stabilizing the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints of the index and long fingers and the joints of the thumb in the position of function so that the fingers, when flexed at their metacarpophalangeal joints, meet the abducted and partially opposed thumb. The fingers, of course, must be

Evaluation of Grasping Power by means of Functional Electrical
Grasping power (GP) by means of functional electrical stimulation (FES) was measured in a patient with C6 complete tetraplegia. This was compared with GP by means of the dynamic tenodesis effect, the flexor hinge splint and the GP of normal female. Palmar grasp strength by means of FES was approximately 16 % of the control group and 2.4 times greater than the flexor hinge splint. Lateral grasp ...
متن کاملAn EMG-controlled grasping system for tetraplegics.
A two-channel, portable, battery operated, functional electrical stimulation (FES) system with surface electrodes to enhance grasping in tetraplegics was developed and tested. This system is meant for tetraplegics capable of grasping by tenodesis. Candidates for this system must retain some wrist extension, and have paralyzed but innervated finger flexors, and nearly normal shoulder and elbow c...
متن کاملLong Term Effects of Volar-Dorsal Wrist/ Hand Immobilization Splint on Motor Components and Function of Stroke Patients
Objectives: This study was designed to determine the effects of Volar-Dorsal Wrist/Hand Immobilization Splint on upper extremity motor components and function of stroke patients. Methods: fourteen patients were participated in this study. The patients were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were given the splint after a primary evaluation. They were re-evaluated afte...
متن کاملExtensor tenodesis for plexic hands with C7 to T1 or C8, T1 root avulsions: a new technique.
In C7 to T1 or C8, T1 root avulsion palsies, restoration of finger active extension is not possible. Only tenodesis may restore hand opening in active wrist flexion. Many techniques have been described to restore this motion. In routine techniques, extensor tendons are fixed on radius or sutured on dorsal retinaculum. However, in these procedures, progressive tendon lengthening or ruptures may ...
متن کاملNew design of home-based dynamic hand splint for hemiplegic hands: a preliminary study
[Purpose] Hemiplegia following a stroke can affect hand movement; therefore, reconstructing hand function is the most desired outcome for stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the application of rehabilitation through the use of a dynamic hand splint and observes its effects on the muscle strength and functional activity of the affected hands. [Subjects and Methods] Chronic ...
