Abstract
Although there is no general consensus regarding splinting the hemiplegic hand, therapists continue to explore possibilities to facilitate functional use of the involved hand. A proposal for a dorsal splint adaptation, based on neurophysiological principles is described. Its use with two young hemiplegic patients, 10-11 months post onset, is presented. Following consistent use of the splint, both patients showed increased spontaneous use of the hemiplegic hand.
