Abstract des Autors
Two of the greatest challenges in upper extremity rehabilitation are protecting the injured athlete during the healing process and timing his or her return to sport. The goal of the hand rehabilitation therapist as well as the treating physician is to devise a mutually agreeable protection and rehabilitation plan that is safe, effective, and accepted by the league of play. This article discusses the specifications and design of splints and braces used to treat and protect injuries common to the upper extremity in athletes and provides a general rehabilitative program guideline for these kinds of injuries.
