Restorative Care of America Inc (RCAI), St Petersburg, Fla, markets a resting hand orthosis to accommodate a range of patient populations including stroke, brain injury, and cerebral palsy (CP). The company notes that its Neutral Thumb Resting Hand features the thumb in a neutral position between palmar and radial abduction for arthritis, neurological impairment, brain injury, stroke, and CP.
The product is comprised of lightweight, durable Kydex plastic and can reportedly be heat molded at low temperature to meet each patient’s individual needs. It is intended to maintain joint alignment, prevent contracture, reduce muscle spasticity, and increase range of motion. The Neutral Thumb Resting Hand also offers users a washable, breathable liner to eliminate potential pressure points while “wicking” moisture.
