What are supports, orthoses & splints?
Orthoses are usually rigid or semi-rigid aids that are used to stabilise joints such as the ankle, knee, wrist and elbow. They can also be used to correct misalignments or deformities. Orthoses are often used after injuries or operations to immobilise and protect the joint while it heals. Immobilisation protects against further pain-inducing movements.
Splints are usually flexible aids that are used to support and stabilise joints. They are often made of plastic, foam or metal and can be customised. Splints are often used for injuries such as fractures, dislocations or ligament injuries to immobilise and stabilise the joint.
Bandages or sports bandages are usually elasticated aids that are used to compress and support muscles and ligaments. They can also be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Supports can be used for injuries such as strains, sprains or tendonitis to stabilise and support the affected area. Sports supports are also used for increased stability during sporting activities and as prophylaxis.
