A thumb CMC splint/orthosis that only includes the first CMC joint provides dynamic stability by use of a pseudo-hydraulic environmentprinciple.41 This principle (identified by Sarmiento who first applied it to fracture bracing of long bone fractures) provides stability to a bone via the pressure created by contained contracting muscles.

This splint supports the thumb CMC joint for persons who 1) have instability of the CMC joint, 2) need continued stabilization of the joint when returning to function after CMC arthroplasty, 3) need symptomatic control and immobilization following CMC sprain/strain injury and

One-way repeated-measure analysis and paired comparison were used to analyze the pinch, pain, radiographic, and splint-rating measures. Descriptive statistics were used to assess activity-of-daily-living function and splint preference. Both splints appear to reduce subluxation at the first CMC joint in patients with grades 1 and 2 osteoarthritis.

The MKO CMC thumb brace stabilizes the Carpometacarpal (CMC/Basal) joint of the thumb and places the first metacarpal in its functional position. It places the thumb in an anatomically correct position and enables the other fingers to move properly, ensuring the functionality of the hand.
