  • Title: A low-tech alternative to static progressive wrist extension splinting: the wrist extension strap.
    Author: Szekeres M, Chinchalkar S, LeBlanc M.
    Journal: J Hand Ther; 2002; 15(4):375-6. PubMed ID: 12449352.
    Abstract:
    The authors have found that for best results, a wearing time of 1 hour 3 to 4 times a day is desired. Similar to many splints designed to increase range of motion, there is some functional loss during wearing time. Application of the splint should be scheduled appropriately around functional activities. Based on clinical experience, the authors have found this splint is easy to fabricate, cost-effective, and relatively comfortable.
