Living with a hand deformity or functional limitation can impact every aspect of daily life—from simple tasks like buttoning a shirt to more complex movements such as writing or typing. One such condition that requires thoughtful support and management is hand deviation. At Gilgal Medical, we specialize in providing Hand Deviation Orthoses designed to improve function, comfort, and quality of life for our patients.

What Is Hand Deviation?

Hand deviation typically refers to the abnormal angling or displacement of the hand or fingers. Most commonly, this occurs as ulnar deviation (where fingers angle away from the thumb) or radial deviation (where they angle toward the thumb). These deviations are often seen in conditions such as:

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Cerebral palsy

• Stroke-related contractures

• Congenital hand differences

• Traumatic injuries

These deformities can lead to pain, joint instability, and limited hand function.

What Is a Hand Deviation Orthosis?

A Hand Deviation Orthosis is a custom or pre-fabricated brace designed to:

• Correct or reduce hand deviation

• Stabilize the wrist and fingers

• Improve joint alignment

• Support muscle balance

• Relieve pain during movement or at rest

Orthoses can be static (for positioning) or dynamic (for assisting movement), and are tailored to each patient's specific needs.

Who Can Benefit from a Hand Deviation Orthosis?

Orthoses are prescribed for patients with:

• Progressive deformities from autoimmune diseases

• Post-surgical recovery needs

• Neurological impairments affecting hand alignment

• Rehabilitation following trauma or injury

Early intervention with the right orthotic support can prevent worsening of the condition and delay or avoid the need for surgery.
