A nurse is caring for a 15-year-old client with impaired right hand mobility. Which of the following prostheses provide movement and control similar to normal thumb–finger opposition?
A) Dynamic hand splint
B) Supportive braces
C) Handihook
D) Resting splint
C
Feedback:
A Handihook with adaptive splint prosthesis provides movement and control similar to normal thumb–finger opposition. A dynamic splint helps the client to achieve mobility of the hand, but this prosthesis cannot be used for obtaining normal thumb–finger opposition. Supportive braces provide support for the legs; they are not used for gaining mobility in the hands. A resting splint is used to hold the body part stationary and to prevent the hand from becoming contracted
