Abstract
1.1 Dynamic – static оrthoses/splints The terms dynamic and static are often used in splint classifications. This terminology leads to confusion. Immobilization and mobilization splints are more appropriate terms. [1], Dynamic splints are often considered to be used for improving range of motion (ROM), however static splints by maintaining a joint in end range are also efficient in increasing ROM. 1.2 This chapter presents the orthoses we recommend. At wrist level to: Increase ROM; Improve hand function in radial palsy. At forearm level to: Increase pro-supination. At elbow level to: Increase ROM.

2.5.2.2 Torque Angle Curve: TAC Brand [8] for a more objective evaluation proposed to measure at the same time passive range of motion, PROM, and the torque necessary to bring the joint at a given PROM
Counter pressure cuff made of conforming material is placed over the target joint. Such splint enable covering the complete range of motion from full flexion to full extension by bending the metal frame
