Exercise relative motion orthoses: Use of the pencil test and variations of its use for assessing and managing different finger conditions

Published:March 11, 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jht.2022.10.004

      Highlights

      • Exercise relative motion orthoses are frequently used by clinicians.
      • The relative motion (RM) pencil test is used prior to fabricating an exercise RM orthosis.
      • Measurement of the metacarpophalangeal differential is described.
      • Various clinical conditions are linked with the best suited exercise relative motion orthosis.
      • An algorithm is provided for decisions related to evaluation, exercise and RM orthosis design.
