A hand splint includes: a forearm component; a strut mounted on the
forearm component; and a hand component mounted on the strut such that a
spacing extends between the hand component and the forearm component,
whereby the strut spans a wrist when the hand splint is worn. The hand
component is configured to receive the volar surface of digits 2 through
5, the thumb, and the palm. The hand component includes a malleable
section and may include a resilient section for generating a continuous
restoring force in response to bending. Multiple hand pieces can be used
with the same palm support platform and forearm component for progressive
treatment of hand. An initial hand piece having a malleable section and a
rigid bar-like portion; a second hand piece having only a malleable
section; and a hand piece having both a malleable section and resilient
section may be progressive used.
