SOT Thumb Orthosis
Soft yet compressing textile cover with no hard seams or edging. Molded and shaped palmar section with aluminum reinforcement to support the thumb in an optimal resting position. S.O.T Thumb Orthosis is a completely new anatomically shaped orthosis for thumb and palm.
The SOT Thumb Orthosis is designed to restrict movement in the CMC and MCP joints and to support the hand’s arch. This is done by positioning the thumb’s joints and muscles in a comfortable resting position. The SOT Thumb will help to avoid overstretched ligaments that can lead to joint subluxation.
Additional Support
When extra support is needed for the wrist, the SOT Thumb Orthosis can be used together with a wrist brace, such as 35204 SELECTION Wrist Soft or 35207 SELECTION Open Wrist. For patients with adduction contracture that has developed due to forearm fracture immobilization, SOT Thumb Orthosis combined with a wrist orthosis may be advantageous for night-time treatment.
For patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, it is beneficial to use a wrist support in addition to off-loading the finger flexors by providing support under the MCP joints, which helps open the hand and create more space for the median nerve in the carpal tunnel during the night. This is also helpful in arthritis/osteoarthritis where there is a risk of intrinsic shortening.
Recommended Range Of Application
Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, adduction contracture of the thumb, overload injury of the CMC joint.
Measurement
MCP width / Length from wrist to end of finger
Other
The SOT Thumb orthosis has an adjustable aluminum core that can be easily formed to fit individual anatomy and can be adjusted as the contracture changes. To launder, simply place orthosis in a laundry bag, with cover attached, and machine wash at 104° F. This unique S.O.T Thumb Orthosis makes an excellent alternative to a custom-made thumb orthosis.
