Rolyan Walker Hand Splint Benefits

• Excellent for Increasing Grip - The Rolyan Walker Splint is ideal for maintaining wrist alignment. It solves the difficult problem of positioning a weak or "Hemi" hand on a walker. To determine the size that is right for you, measure the width of your hand at the knuckles, not including the thumb.


• Kushionflex Pad provides cushioning - The splint is constructed with Polyform splinting material and a Kushionflex pad. The Kushionflex pad can be placed on the splint where the heel of the hand rests. It can be trimmed to fit before reapplying the self-adhesive to the splint. The splint comes with straps to ensure compliance and control.

How to Use Hand Splint for Walker Handle?

• Attach the hook tabs to the underside of the Rolyan Walker Splint where it curves away from the walker and attach the strap to one of them.[See picture B]
• Place the splint over the walker handle. It should be snug enough so it does not rotate on the walker handle. At the same time it should be loose enough to be removed without excessive effort.

• Heating the whole splint may cause it to lose its preformed shape.
• Kushionflex pad can be placed where the heel of the hand rests on the splint.
