<p>The present disclosure relates to an advanced multi-dimensional Wrist/Hand Orthosis (WHO) intended to decrease pain symptoms associated with various wrist injuries/surgery in order to improve wrist joint function, by using a single device that provides recovery, rehabilitation, and return to action. The proposed wrist and hand orthosis apparatus is achieved by using a Peltier heating and cooling technology, a controlled range of motion using an articulating hinge system, and optionally, an immobilization mechanism using a detachable wrist immobilizer and thumb spica. The three key features mentioned above function in complete or selective combination in a single device, providing a multidimensional aspect to the wrist/hand wrap based on the current stage of the user’s rehabilitation process, thereby enabling the user to a speedy and efficient recovery.</p> |
