Like elbow orthoses, these braces are used to either assist or prevent bending of the elbow but also involve other joints. These devices are often used to prevent loss of range of motion across the elbow, wrist, and hand. EWHFOs may have joints at the elbow or wrist to allow for adjustments.
These devices may be suitable for individuals with:
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Stroke
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord injury
Conditions that require contracture management
