Splinting is the use of thermoplastic material to hold a person’s arm, hand, or finger in a specific position. This material softens in warm water for molding and hardens as it cools. Our occupational therapists are trained to design and create custom splints to address a wide spectrum of joint disorders. Along with custom splints, neoprene splints made from an elastic material are utilized for providing gentle joint support when restriction of motion is not necessary.
