Abstract:
Relative Motion (RM) orthoses are an extremely important and beneficial intervention in hand rehabilitation. They can be used for a variety of hand conditions including for positioning, protection, alignment and exercise. In order to achieve the intended goals of this orthotic intervention, the clinician must pay attention to detail during its fabrication. The purpose of this manuscript is to offer some simple and practical fabrication tips for hand therapists who want to include the use of RM orthoses to manage these different clinical conditions. Photos are provided to reinforce some of the key concepts.

When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
