Allowing you to live your life to the fullest

Wrist Hand Orthoses (WHO) is used to treat injuries and strains to the wrist, hand and forearm. The orthotic devices help support muscles, tendons and ligaments in the wrist and the carpals, metacarpals and phalanges. Wrist Hand Finger Orthoses (WHFO) are similar to wrist hand orthoses but extend to the fingers. In addition to WHO, they can also help support the fingers and prevent loss of range of motion of the fingers and wrist. The conditions WHO help treat include but are not limited to:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Tendonitis
  • Dislocation
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Stroke
  • Ligament Laxity
  • Fracture
  • Post-operative

For WHO devices, they work best when applied directly against the skin. Our Certified Orthotists will help you put on and use your orthotic. They will also help you with maintaining the orthotic and how to care for it.

At Colman, in addition to wrist hand orthoses, we offer a wide range of upper body orthotics and knee braces. We also offer various lower body orthotics, ankle-foot orthoses, and foot orthotics.

Benefits of wrist hand orthoses

Wrist hand orthoses prevent hyperextension and help prevent further injuries. They also help support the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the wrist. These include providing stability, protecting the elbow, reducing strain on the wrist, and making sure the wrist doesn’t move too far.
