When you or a loved one experience a stroke or any other medical condition that affects the day to day usage of your hands, it can be heartbreaking. Your extremities that were once dexterous and nimble may now be reduced to a painful part of your life. One side effect of strokes, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many other medical conditions is hand contracture. This Is when the hand closes up into a fist. While not painful as a single event, over time this stretches out and strains the muscles and bones of the hand and fingers. Thus, resting hand splints are a solution. They allow the hand to rest comfortably at an easy position, whilst providing some restraint against these contractures. There are many types of hand splints, and this simple splint with a ball is one of the more economical and effective versions. The foam ball provides some resistance against contracture while being comfortable and soft enough for continuous daily usage.
