Improved hand function after injury or disease is achieved by increasing joint mobility, muscle strength and coordination, while reducing edema and pain. Static and dynamic orthoses assist in correcting deformities, provide strengthening activities and maintain a functional hand position. Many orthotic appliances are commercially available or may be fabricated for specific hand problems. The process of gradually increasing wearing tolerance helps to reduce the risk of skin breakdown or excessive pressure. A program of daily range-of-motion exercises may aid in preventing joint immobilization.
通过增加关节活动度、肌肉力量和协调性，同时减轻水肿和疼痛，可改善受伤或患病后的手部功能。静态和动态矫形器有助于矫正畸形，提供强化训练活动，并保持手部的功能位。许多矫形器具都有商业产品可供选择，也可根据特定的手部问题定制。逐渐增加佩戴耐受性的过程有助于降低皮肤破损或压力过大的风险。每日进行的关节活动度锻炼计划可能有助于防止关节固定。
