Abstract

|
|
Musculoskeletal pain in the upper extremities is a frequently encountered issue in clinical practice. Commonly occurring disorders that can cause such upper extremity pain are de Quervain's tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis affecting the wrists and hands, epicondylitis of the elbow, and shoulder dislocation. Orthoses have proven to be helpful in controlling pain caused by these conditions and are now widely used for their clinical management. Here, we review the application of orthoses for the management of upper extremity pain due to these commonly occurring disorders.
