In a recent video demonstration, hand therapist, Nicola Goldsmith showcases how the Rolyan Splint Bath and thermoplastic materials are used to create functional splints for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

The journey to recovery can be long and gruelling. The right equipment can make the entire process easier and recovery more attainable. We’ve selected some of the top products and innovations and put them in one place with this article to assist you in enabling the journey to recovery.

With this webinar, Tom Stanley’s goal is to show how strength and conditioning concepts directly enhance patient outcomes. And with unique features such as quality control, color-coded progression and evidence-based success, THERABAND products make it especially effective.

Join our webinar featuring Nicola Goldsmith, MSc, SROT. Most thermoplastic splints are made on the volar surface of the fingers, hand, wrist and forearm. In this webinar, we will explore some of the clinical and biological reasons for splinting on the dorsal surface. This will include rationale such as leaving the sensate area of a finger free, preventing pressure on wounds, and good lever arms for contracture. Conditions which will be discussed include mallet injury, post Dupuytren’s surgery and PIPJ contractures.
