Condition: Thumb Osteoarthritis
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Comparison of Using 3D-Printed Hand Orthosis Versus Thermoplastic Orthosis in Patients With Thumb Carpo-metacarpal Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Randomized Trial Cross-over Study
Brief Summary:
This study will investigate the effectiveness of 3D-printed splints for treating thumb osteoarthritis (CMC OA).These splints are made by Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists out of low-temperature plastic and formed on the patient's hand.3D printed splints involve photographing the hand and creating a digital file of the splint.This is then printed and fit on the patient.The goal of this cross-over clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of 3D-printed splints versus thermoplastic splints for…
