Abstract: A digit splint is defined by an arcuate angularly inclined base and an ovoid which extends upwardly and radially outward from the base. The base is positioned on the palmar side of a joint of a digit and the ovoid conforms to the dorsum of a digit when the digit is in an extended position without hyperextension. The ovoid has two substantially parallel sides which, when worn, conform to impinge on the sides of the joint of a digit at the axis to provide lateral stability at the joint of a digit and to prevent migration of the splint on a digit. The splint also prevents hyperextension of the joint of a digit. In an alternate configuration, the splint may be rotated 180 degrees about the horizontal axis on a joint of a finger. In this configuration, the splint provides lateral stability at a joint of a digit and corrects flexion at a joint of a digit.

Abstract: A device to assist in the application of a sock or stocking onto the foot and ankle of the user. The device includes an elongated shell having first and second ends, a base and side walls wherein the shell is U-shaped in cross-section, the base and each of the side walls being substantially planar. Each of the side walls are characterized as having outwardly turned lips and the shell also includes an upwardly turned tongue element and a cord whose ends are affixed to the shell.

Abstract: A polycentric hinged ulnar deviation splint for reducing deviation of the fingers in an ulnarward direction and for bringing the fingers into neutral alignment along a mid-longitudinal axis of the hand and forearm which allows free joint motion in all fingers and has no covering of the palm of the hand is disclosed. The splint has a proximal portion and a distal portion which are opposed and conform to the dorsum of the hand. Each extension of the proximal portion and the distal portion are attached by a polycentric hinge which forms a multi-axis polycentric joint in alignment with the metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand. The splint also includes at least one finger alignment component which is attached to the distal portion, as well as a strap for removably fastening the splint on the hand.
