摘要 This study presents the novel Traction-Free Posture Orthosis,designed to address wrist stiffness without the use of traditional traction methods.The orthosis employs a velcro system to stabilize the position of the wrist in flexion or extension,thereby avoiding the compression and rotational disadvantages associated with non-perpendicular traction forces.Triangular-shaped cuts in the brace allow for plastic material flexibility,ensuring movement and comfort.Significant is the absence of a traction strap,which traditionally reduces the support surface and could create pressure points leading to patient discomfort or treatment rejection.The design facilitates a wide contact surface with the hand,optimal load distribution,and the capacity to adjust dual traction straps independently,adapting to the natural wrist movement.This single-piece base orthosis offers a stable,cost-effective,and patientfriendly alternative to conventional splints.However,patients with stiffness in both flexion and extension may require two separate orthoses,potentially increasing costs and patient inconvenience.Overall,the Traction-Free Posture Orthosis represents an innovative step in wrist rehabilitation,providing a quick-to-construct,easy-to-wear solution with the promise of enhanced patient compliance and comfort.
