The immediate effect of thumb orthoses on upper extremity’s movement: A kinematic analysis of five unique devices
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Thumb orthoses are a standard treatment modality, with substantial evidence to support its usage for multiple conditions affecting the upper extremity. Despite commonly prescribed, little is known about the immediate impact of such devices on the upper extremity, including potential modifications on motor patterns.
RESEARCH QUESTION: We aimed to determine the changes in the upper limb kinematics during the usage of thumb orthotics, …
