Abstract |
A non-invasive thermoplastic orthosis combined with targeted exercise effectively addresses proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPj) stiffness. Stabilizing the metacarpophalangeal joint at 60 ° enables optimal torque transfer, improving flexion and correcting compensatory patterns. Posture maintenance prevents elastic recoil,enhancing tissue elongation. Preliminary results show improved kinematic control and functional recovery.
