An innovative resting splint for spastic and paretic hands, the Allard SOT Left-Hand Resting Splint maintains and increases the mobility of the injured hand, whilst allowing for recovery.

How Does the SOT Left Hand Splint Work?

The SOT Left 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 Left Hand Splint?

We recommend that the SOT Left 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.
