Customised splints, made of thermoplastic materials, are tailored supports designed to aid healing following injury or surgery.
These splints can help relieve pain, offer joint protection, enhance stability for functional use, or promote improved motion in stiff joints.
Upper limb functional assessments evaluate one’s physical abilities to perform day to day activities. These include, but are not limited to, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and activity demands.
A customised rehabilitation plan will be devised after the assessment.
Reduced joint range of motion and strength and experiencing stiff hands and fingers are common problems seen after injury and/or surgery.
A personalised treatment plan will be prescribed to address these issues so as to assist your recovery to optimal function.
After injury or surgery, hand and upper limb sensations may be altered, often causing sensations such as numbness or pins and needles in hands.
Desensitisation and sensory re-education techniques can be used to normalise and restore sensory function in affected areas.
Scarring is a natural part of healing after injury or surgery, but for some, scars can develop hypersensitive, hypertrophic and/or keloid scarring.
Scar management techniques focus on making scars flat, smooth, and flexible to prevent pain and functional limitations.
Hand and wrist pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. Acute or chronic pain can affect one’s ability to perform day to day activities.
Pain management aims to reduce pain, optimise occupational performance, and improve one’s quality of life.
Joints in the body can be stressed or strained during daily activities, resulting in pain and reduced function.
Learning joint protection techniques and modifying how you perform tasks can reduce joint stress, alleviate pain, and prevent further damage.
