Hinged dorsal carpal tunnel brace

摘要

A hinged dorsal carpal tunnel brace comprises a first substantially arcuate splint portion for fastening to a dorsal side of a patient's forearm. The first splint portion includes at least one strap for fastening the first arcuate splint portion to the patient's forearm. A second splint portion attaches to a dorsal side of the patient's hand and includes at least one strap for fastening to the patient's hand. A hinge pivotally connects the first splint portion to the second splint portion and allows pivotal motion through a preselected arcuate distance in radial and ulnar directions.
