An Introduction to Splinting for the New Graduate & Novice Clinician
This YouTube channel was created when I was an OT student for my doctoral capstone project in the hopes to educate novice clinicians and new graduates in the area of splinting who may not have the background with it.
Research shows that new graduates do not have the adequate experience or background when it comes to fabricating splints for patients which is making these new grads unconfident with his/her orthotic fabrication skills.
This channel was designed to assist and provide guidance to these clinicians who may need extra guidance with step-by-step directions on how to fabricate different orthotic devices for the hand and upper extremity while also discussion indications, precautions, the purpose and type of splint required, etc.

This video was created to assist those clinicians who are struggling with determining what type of orthosis to make for their patients or are having a difficult time determining what type of material to use when fabricating a splint for their patients.
