Personalized Orthotic Care
Designed to improve support, alignment, and everyday function
Upper extremity orthotics are essential devices designed to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities or to improve the function of the arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers. These orthoses are critical for patients recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, or requiring post-surgical support.
Our services include custom-made and prefabricated orthotic solutions tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal comfort, support, and functionality.
Common Devices
Upper extremity orthotic devices we provide
Different conditions require different levels of stabilization, alignment, motion control, and protection.
02
Elbow Orthosis
Designed with rigid bars or supports and a joint at the elbow, this device supports and restricts motion and can be especially useful during post-surgical recovery or injury rehabilitation.
03
Humeral Fracture Brace
Used after a rigid splint is removed following a humeral fracture. The brace compresses the upper arm in a rigid shell to stabilize the humerus during healing.
04
Shoulder Orthosis
Provides support and immobilization to the shoulder joint and is often used after rotator cuff injuries or surgeries.
Conditions Treated
Support for common upper extremity conditions
Orthotic treatment can help reduce strain, improve alignment, protect healing tissue, and support recovery.
Wrist-hand orthoses can help relieve pressure on the median nerve and reduce symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the fingers.
Elbow orthoses can help limit movement, reduce strain on the tendons, and support the healing process.
Humeral fracture braces stabilize the bone during healing and help maintain proper alignment during recovery.
Shoulder orthoses provide necessary immobilization and help reduce strain on the shoulder muscles and tendons.
