Draw shoulder orthosis diagram

Generating Image

Here is a labeled diagram of a shoulder orthosis, illustrating the key components:

Component	Function
Humeral cuff	Wraps around the upper arm to support and position the humerus
Abduction pillow	Holds the arm away from the body at a set angle (commonly 15–90°)
Axillary pad	Cushions the axilla and distributes pressure
Chest strap	Anchors the orthosis to the torso for stability
Arm sling	Supports the forearm and elbow weight
Adjustment straps	Allow customization of abduction angle and fit

Shoulder orthoses are prescribed for conditions such as rotator cuff repairs, glenohumeral instability, post-surgical immobilization, brachial plexus injuries, and shoulder fractures. The abduction angle is set per the surgeon's protocol — typically 15–30° for conservative management and up to 60–90° post-rotator cuff repair.

Here is a simple black line-art sketch of a shoulder orthosis — clean outlines only, ideal for hand tracing, printing, or coloring. The labeled components are:

Humeral Cuff — wraps the upper arm
Abduction Pillow — holds the arm elevated laterally
Axillary Pad — cushions the underarm
Chest Strap — secures the brace to the torso
Forearm Sling — supports the weight of the forearm
Adjustment Buckle — sets the abduction angle

You can print this and use it as a tracing or teaching worksheet. Let me know if you'd like any changes — different angle, more/fewer labels, or a specific orthosis type (e.g., gunslinger brace, Ultrasling).

Draw finger orthosis

Generating Image

Here is a clean line-art sketch of finger orthoses, showing the most common types:

Orthosis	Joint Targeted	Indication
Stack Splint	DIP	Mallet finger, extensor tendon injury
Figure-of-8 Splint	PIP	Swan neck deformity, PIP hyperextension
Dynamic Extension Splint	PIP / MCP	Flexion contracture, post-surgical mobilization
Buddy Strap	PIP / DIP	Collateral ligament sprain, fracture

Joint reference (proximal → distal):

MCP — Metacarpophalangeal joint
PIP — Proximal interphalangeal joint
DIP — Distal interphalangeal joint

Print and use as a tracing or labeling worksheet. Let me know if you'd like a specific finger orthosis in more detail (e.g., mallet splint close-up, reverse knuckle bender, or dynamic flexion glove).

Hand splint

Generating Image

Here is a clean line-art worksheet of the three most common hand splints:

Types Shown

Splint	Position	Indication
Resting Hand Splint	Wrist 10–20° extension, MCPs 45° flexion, IPs slight flexion, thumb abducted	Stroke, RA, burns, spasticity, nerve injury
Cock-Up Wrist Splint	Wrist 20–30° extension, fingers free	Carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist sprain, radial nerve palsy
Thumb Spica Splint	Thumb CMC + MCP immobilized, wrist neutral	De Quervain's tenosynovitis, scaphoid fracture, thumb UCL injury

Key Components Labeled

Forearm trough — proximal support base
Palmar bar — maintains transverse arch
Thumb post — positions and immobilizes thumb
Velcro straps — secure fit at forearm, wrist, and hand
Thermoplastic shell — custom-molded low-temperature material

Let me know if you'd like a specific splint in more detail, a dynamic vs. static comparison, or a pediatric hand splint version.

Elbow orthosis

Generating Image

Here is a clean line-art worksheet of the three main elbow orthosis types:

Types Shown

Orthosis	Position / Function	Indication
Static Elbow Orthosis	Elbow fixed at 90° flexion, no movement	Post-fracture immobilization, ulnar nerve transposition, cubital tunnel syndrome
Hinged Elbow Orthosis	Adjustable ROM stops on polycentric hinge; allows controlled flex/extension	Post-surgical rehab, elbow instability, contracture management
Counterforce Strap	Compressive band ~5 cm distal to lateral epicondyle	Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow)

Key Components Labeled

Upper arm cuff — proximal anchor on humerus
Forearm cuff — distal anchor on radius/ulna
Polycentric hinge — mimics elbow's moving axis of rotation
ROM dial/stop — sets extension and flexion limits
Counterforce pad — offloads stress at epicondyle
Olecranon cutout — relieves pressure on bony prominence

Let me know if you want a specific design in more detail — such as a Muenster orthosis, posterior elbow slab, or a dynamic elbow flexion splint.
