Upper-limb orthotics are designed to provide support to your upper limbs, namely the arm, wrist, shoulder, and elbow, for the treatment of various injuries and/or medical conditions.

Shoulder immobilizers are a common type of upper-limb orthotics, which can be helpful with such issues as a shoulder soft tissue injury or rotator cuff disorder and may be utilized for fracture management or as part of post-operative care. For this type of orthotic to be effective, it must hold the shoulder joint capsule in the desired position, making it critical that it fit you properly.
Arm, wrist, elbow, and hand conditions can also be addressed with the use of upper-limb orthotics, including elbow braces, wrist braces, finger splints, and arm slings. We can fit you or your loved one with the proper orthotics to provide stability while permitting an acceptable amount of mobility in accordance with your physical or occupational therapy plan.
