| 摘要 |
An improved splint/therapeutic device for at least partially limiting the mobility of a selected portion of a patient's body. The device (10) includes a splint body (12) fabricated of a resilient material, the splint body (12) defining an inner surface (18) for engaging the patient's body. The splint body (12) also defines a preselected thickness whereby the resilient material of the splint body biases the patient's body to a desired body position. The thickness may vary over the length and width of the splint body (12) and may be selectively reduced to increase mobility of the selected body part. The splint/therapeutic device (10) is secured to the patient's body with securing means such as tape, integrally formed body encircling portions (26'), or with securing straps (26) provided with hook-and-loop fasteners (28).
