Details

Designed to support hand positioning during rehabilitation, this resting hand and finger splint is especially useful for people who have difficulty opening the hand or straightening the fingers following a stroke, hemiplegia, brain injury, or neurological conditions affecting muscle control.

The contoured ABS support helps hold the hand in a gently open, natural resting position, while the individual finger spaces keep the fingers separated and supported. This can be particularly helpful for hands that tend to remain clenched, fingers that curl inward, or fingers that are difficult to extend after a stroke.

Key Benefits
- Supports stroke and hemiplegia rehabilitation: suitable for people who have difficulty opening and closing the hand after a stroke.
- Helps position curled or clenched fingers: gently supports fingers that are difficult to straighten or tend to curl into the palm.
- Keeps fingers comfortably separated: individual finger sections help reduce fingers pressing or rubbing against each other.
- Supports a more natural resting hand position: the curved shape follows the natural contour of the palm rather than forcing the hand completely flat.
- Useful for spasticity and reduced hand control: provides gentle positioning support where muscle tightness or involuntary movement affects the hand.
Adjustable and secure: three soft adjustable straps help keep the hand and wrist comfortably positioned.
- Breathable design: ventilation openings help improve airflow during longer periods of wear.
- Left and right hand options available.

Who May Find It Helpful?

This resting hand splint may be suitable for people experiencing:

- Difficulty opening the palm following a stroke;
- Fingers that remain curled or are difficult to straighten after a stroke;
- Hemiplegia affecting hand movement;
- Hand or finger spasticity;
- Reduced voluntary hand control following neurological injury;
- Fingers that press tightly together or into the palm;
- A need for gentle resting hand positioning during rehabilitation.

It may be used as part of a rehabilitation or hand-positioning programme. For significant spasticity, pain, contracture, or recent neurological injury, follow the advice of your physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or healthcare professional.

Design

The lightweight ABS shell is shaped to follow the natural resting curve of the palm and fingers. Separate finger channels help keep each finger positioned individually, while the adjustable straps secure the wrist, palm and fingers without requiring the hand to be forced flat.

One size fits most adults. Choose the correct option for the left or right hand.
