Innovative orthosis for proximal interphalangeal joint recovery: A new approach to finger rehabilitation.

The proximal interphalangeal joint is anatomically linked to the distal joint, creating challenges in post-trauma rehabilitation due to stiffness and edema. We present a novel, semirigid orthosis designed for static progressive traction, enabling synchronized flexion and promoting tissue lengthening. This compact device, adjustable by the patient, ensures minimal disruption to hand functionality and enhances rehabilitation outcomes. Its innovative design provides a promising solution for managing joint stiffness while maintaining comfort and usability in daily activities.
