Padded Palm Shield and Contracture Cushion

Following a stroke or injury, it is not uncommon for muscle loss to occur. Any resulting weakness or paralysis can lead to further joint injury or deformities if adequate protective measures are not taken. With a foam protector, one can minimize the risk of developing contractures.

Advantages

  • Simple and easy to use
  • Inexpensive

Disadvantages

  • This device does not help stretch one’s muscles to prevent contractures
  • Protects joints, but also minimizes use of the hand, which can lead to poor recovery
