Efficient, functional and patient-centred: This compact online course focuses on the fabrication and therapeutic application of exercise splints.
You will learn how individually adapted splints can be used to support, guide or restrict movement and to complement therapeutic exercises in a targeted way. The focus is on practical splint designs that can be individually adapted to the therapeutic goal and the specific needs of each patient.
