Abstract:
This article presents an innovative orthosis designed to improve function and patient comfort in individuals with radial nerve palsy. Current orthotic designs often fail to balance wrist stabilization with flexibility, leading to suboptimal functional recovery. Our proposed orthosis incorporates a dorsal plastic base and a volar traction system to enable wrist and finger extension while maintaining a low-profile design. Compared with existing designs, this orthosis enhances grip strength, minimizes bulkiness, and optimizes patient compliance. Clinical observations suggest that the proposed orthosis improves activities of daily living (ADL) during muscle reinnervation, providing a practical and effective solution.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
