This week we only made one splint. It is for arthritis in thumbs and median nerve palsy. Median nerve palsy could be from a number of conditions - prolonged pressure on the median nerve, accidents, radiation therapy, repetitive stresses, infections, hematoma, and cancer.
We had a template just like the picture below. Templates made life this week so much easier than last week, when we had to create the splints from scratch. Our professor says that everyone is different and templates sometimes are a pain getting them to fit everyone. At this point- I LOVE TEMPLATES! Sadly this is the only splint that we will make with a template; the rest of the splints we make this semester this semester will be from scratch as well.
