Splinting Corner: Static Progressive Carpo-metacarpal (CMC)/First Web Space Splint
A Static progressive splint is used to address joint and soft tissue contractures. This splint was designed for gentle stretch/gradual and controlled elongation to the first web space/CMC joint to improve CMC extension, radial and palmar abduction.
