Course Description
This course will cover the theory and application of splinting the hand and arm. We will
cover the basic concepts that are the foundation of splinting and fabricate several
important yet easy hand splints. On the second day we will discuss more advanced
splinting applications and work with mobilization (dynamic) splinting components. This
course is designed for practicing OT, COTA, PT, PTA with beginner to intermediate
splinting skills. The two day program will be an active learning experience including
thought provoking lectures, several hands-on lab and case studies. Participants will have
the opportunity to work with a wide variety of splinting materials, strapping, plaster and
QuickCast.
