Resting hand splints and anti-spasticity braces are similar in terms of what conditions and injuries they will help treat and manage. However, there are a few key differences to understand. Resting hand splints, such as this day or night wrist and finger immobilizer, hold your hand in a neutral, healing position. This type of hand brace will hold your wrist and palm in the best position to avoid any dangerous or painful movements as you heal from sprains, strokes, or fractures. An anti-spasticity hand splint will also hold your hand and wrist in a neutral healing position, but in addition, it will also prevent your hand and fingers from balling up into a closed fist. This splint is designed specifically to help with hand cramping, contractures, twitching, and spasms. Benefit of Wearing a Contracture Hand Splint Following a Stroke Men and women who have had a stroke often experience contractures in their wrists and hand. Wrist contractures occur when, due to the stroke, you have lost control of your hand or wrist, causing it to cramp up into a balled fist uncontrollably. Contractures can be extremely difficult and painful, especially when completing daily tasks. Resting hand splints such as this one are used to prevent and restrict contractures from occurring by holding the hand, wrist, and fingers in an open, healing position. When used with the therapy ball, your palm and fingers are held open to help prevent both hand and wrist contractures. Over time, the splint will help improve hand function as you recover. How Soon After a Stroke Should I Wear a Hand Splint? The timeline of wearing a hand orthosis for wrist contractures depends on the stroke's severity. If you can begin completing day-to-day activities again, you can wear the wrist wrap to assist you. When in doubt, speak with your doctor to ensure you’re ready to use a resting hand splint, especially before wearing it for long periods. What Causes an Involuntary Hand Spasm and What Can I Do to Fix It? There is a range of reasons that may be what is causing your hand to randomly and uncontrollably twitch, cramp, or spasm. Involuntary hand muscle spasms can happen anytime, anywhere. Here are the main reasons hand spasms occur: Dehydration Overexertion Carpal tunnel syndrome Too much caffeine Rheumatoid arthritis Recovery from stroke or surgery Hand spasms are quite common. However, more serious signs alongside spasms, including swelling, numbness, or persistent pain, could mean more. Reach out to your doctor if you find this to be the case for you. What is Hand Dystonia? Dystonia is a movement order condition that causes your muscles to contract involuntarily. The involuntary muscle contractions cause repetitive or twisting movements, including your hand twitching, cramping, or spasming. Cases of this condition range from mild to severe. See your doctor or medical professional to determine the best form of treatment for you. Hand Contractures Explained Hand contractures are slightly different and more concerning than hand spasms and twitching. Contractures occur when your hand involuntarily forms itself into a half or a fully balled-up fist, with your finger or fingers tucked into your palms. Contractures are often a sign of Dupuytren's contracture, which includes risk factors of high age, men, or running in the family. This splint is designed specifically for this condition, as it holds your fingers in place and contains a foam ball to help prevent balling up of the fist. Twitches and Cramping of the Hand Twitching of the hand is much more likely to happen and is the least serious concern. Twitching is most commonly a sign of too much caffeine and insufficient water. However, if your hand twitching is paired with burning, tingling, pain, numbness, or extreme shaking, you should reach out to your doctor immediately.
