Allard SOT Right-Hand Resting Splint

An innovative resting splint for spastic and paretic hands, the Allard SOT Right-Hand Resting Splint maintains and increases the mobility of the injured hand, whilst allowing for recovery. Featuring an aluminium core which allows adjustment to the desired position, the splint provides a good biomechanical position that reduces the risk of flexor shortening of the wrist and fingers.

Which Size Do I Need?

The SOT Right Hand Splint is available in four sizes. To find your size, you must make two measurements:

1. Measure your MCP width (directly across your four knuckles from one side to the other).
2. Measure the length from your wrist to the end of your finger

How Does the SOT Right Hand Splint Work?

The SOT Right Hand Splint has a number of anatomical benefits to increase hand mobility and aid muscle recovery:

• Regular use of the splint stimulates relaxation of the spastic hand and/or reduces pain.
• Provides protection for patients who benefit from the wrist in a neutral position, avoiding lengthening of weak or paralyzed muscles.
• By the well distributed pressure on volar and dorsal side of the hand and arm, the splint prevents and eliminates swelling

How Do I Use the SOT Right Hand Splint?

We recommend that the SOT Right Hand Splint be fitted by a qualified fitter of supports and splints, including GPs and your Consultant:

1. Position the hand into the orthosis. Make sure that the thumb is in a correct position and start by applying the strap over the wrist.
2. Then adjust the strap in sequences so that it gives a comfortable feel and does not give any proximal pressure.
3. An extra strap around the wrist can be added to give a better fixation over the wrist if needed due to increased spasticity.
4. Make sure that the orthosis is comfortable and does not create any chafing or is too tight.
