The hand and its digits play a pivotal role in everyday life. Holding a glass, opening a jar or picking up small objects are actions humans perform countless times every day.
The ability of the thumb to oppose the fingers is often taken for granted. When the thumb is injured due to an acute injury or a chronic illness, the patient's life can be severely impacted due to pain and loss of function.
The objective of any treatment is to get patients back to using their hand and back to their normal daily life.
This 'one of a kind' Actimove Rhizo Forte brace is designed to restrict thumb movement while maintaining the daily functionality of the hand. The design ensures the immobilisation of the CMC and MCP joints without restricting the movement of the wrist and the other four fingers.
Indications:
- Painful conditions and irritations of the thumb joints (eg Osteoarthritis)
- Rheumatoid Arthritis of the thumb
- Ulnar Collateral Ligament injuries of the MCP1 joint (eg Skier's thumb)
- Ligament instabilty
- Post-operative immobilisation
