This document discusses different types of hand splints, including their purposes, components, and construction. It describes static splints that maintain positioning and prevent deformities, as well as dynamic splints that allow exercise during recovery. The basic opponens splint is outlined, with components like the opponens bar, C bar, and MCP extension stop. Considerations for splinting spastic hands are also provided, favoring splints covering a large area to avoid pressure points and maintain functional positioning.
