How to Choose the PSNOOK Resting Hand Splint
A resting hand splint with a shaped polymer plate and separate finger, palm, and wrist straps. It can be set up for either adult hand.
What to Look For
Hand position
Ask your clinician whether this plate fits the hand and finger position they recommend. The fingers should rest comfortably without being forced straight.
Plate size
The plate is about 9.45 inches high, 7 inches across the palm, and 2.8 inches across the wrist. These are plate dimensions, not hand circumferences.
Left or right hand
One splint is included. Rethread the straps in the opposite direction to switch hands; the finger, palm, and wrist straps adjust separately.
Details to Compare
- Compare the areas supported: fingers, palm, and wrist.
- For either-hand use, look at how the straps switch direction.
- Compare plate dimensions and the positions of the individual fastenings.
Uses and Care Needs
Hand support after a stroke
After a stroke, a weak hand may need help staying in its prescribed resting position. The plate supports the hand, with separate straps for the fingers, palm, and wrist.
Recovery from brain injury or surgery
A helper can adjust each strap separately to fit the hand. Follow the hand position and wearing schedule set by the rehabilitation team.
Parkinson’s and nerve-related hand difficulties
Some adults with Parkinson’s or peripheral nerve problems need support for the hand at rest. The plate and straps must fit the hand position approved for that person.
Adults with cerebral palsy
If a clinician recommends this type of resting splint, check that the hand rests comfortably against the plate. Adjust the finger, palm, and wrist straps separately.
Hand injury or surgery recovery
A resting splint may be part of recovery. Check that the plate shape works with the prescribed hand position and any dressings before fitting it.
Help with putting on the splint
A family member or therapist can open each strap separately to place the hand and check the fit. Rethread the straps in the opposite direction to switch between left and right hands.
