A Cadaver Based Comparison of Two Elastic Tension Proximal Interphalangeal Joint (PIPJ) Extension Orthoses with Focus on Force Generation and Pressure Distribution

Proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture is a frequent condition in hand therapy. Clinicians most frequently apply orthosis management for conservative treatment. Orthoses should apply forces for long periods of time following the total end range time (TERT) concept. These forces necessari...
