Pilot Study on The Effectiveness of Relative Motion Orthosis in Finger Motion
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
The purpose of this feasibility pilot study is to determine the effectiveness of Relative Motion Orthosis (RMO) in regaining finger range of motion compared to standard care in patients diagnosed with Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) stiffness with an extension lag secondary to finger injury. Participants will be enrolled and randomized into groups receiving either standard conservative interventions or standard interventions in addition to the RMO. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the efficacy of relative motion orthosis in PIP ROM using clinical scoring and physical exam findings.

Conditions
Interventions
RMO flexion orthosis (splint)
RMO flexion is an orthosis fabricated by hand therapists made of thermoplastic material design to position the involved finger in relative flexion at the metacarpal joint compared to adjacent fingers to facilitate PIP extension during daily activity use.
Standard of care
Treatment includes finger stretches, active range of motion (AROM), passive range of motion (PROM), thermal modalities, LMB finger extension orthosis.
