Rheumatoid arthritis patients have multiple joint problems, often making it difficult to use gait aids after a joint replacement in the leg. To address this problem, we designed a hand splint with a hook on the palmar side for use with parallel bars. Patients put these splints on both hands and they can walk holding the bars with the hooks. Best suited for using this splint are rheumatoid arthritis patients who are unable to hold parallel bars without marked pain in the hands or fingers, contracture of the wrist joint, or dislocation of finger joints. Several patients have tried this splint, which worked safely and satisfactorily during exercise.
类风湿性关节炎患者存在多种关节问题，这常常导致在腿部进行关节置换后使用助行器变得困难。为了解决这个问题，我们设计了一种在手掌侧带有挂钩的手部夹板，用于搭配双杠使用。患者将这些夹板戴在双手上，然后可以用挂钩抓住双杠行走。最适合使用这种夹板的是那些在手部或手指没有明显疼痛的情况下无法抓住双杠、存在腕关节挛缩或手指关节脱位的类风湿性关节炎患者。已有几名患者试用了这种夹板，在锻炼过程中其效果安全且令人满意。
