Contracture Management

Contractures result in stiffness and lack of mobility in muscles and tendons. This can make it painful or difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks. Contracture splints and wraps can help provide support to limbs to reduce stiffness and limit contraction in the body. Algeos offers a range of contracture management equipment and orthotic support.

Contracture Management

Contracture Management & Orthotic Therapy

Algeos offers a comprehensive range of orthotic therapy products specifically designed for contracture management and restorative medical needs. These products are essential for addressing joint and muscle contractures, which often result from prolonged immobility, neurological conditions, or post-surgical recovery.

Restorative Medical Orthoses

These orthoses are engineered to gently stretch and maintain proper joint alignment, thereby preventing and treating contractures.

Examples include:

  • Resting Hand Orthosis: Helps maintain the wrist, hand, and fingers in a functional position.
  • Knee Orthosis: Designed to extend the knee gradually, reducing flexion contractures.
  • Elbow Orthosis: Aids in extending the elbow to counteract flexion contractures.
  • Foot Drop Orthosis: Supports the foot in a neutral position to prevent foot drop and related issues.

Adjustable and Customisable Options

  • Many orthotic devices in this range come with adjustable features to accommodate different degrees of contracture severity and patient-specific needs.
  • Custom-Fit Orthoses: Tailored to fit the unique anatomical structure of the patient, ensuring maximum effectiveness and comfort.

Therapeutic Splints

  • Night Splints: Designed to be worn during sleep, these splints keep the affected joints in a neutral or extended position to prevent morning stiffness and contracture progression.
  • Dynamic Splints: These utilise tension to apply a constant stretch, promoting gradual extension of contracted joints.

Soft Orthoses

  • Made from soft, breathable materials, these are ideal for patients with sensitive skin or those who need a more gentle approach to contracture management.
  • Example: SoftPro™ Hand and Wrist Orthosis, which provides gentle support and stretching for the wrist and fingers.

Device Uses

  • Prevention and Treatment of Contractures: These orthotic devices are critical in preventing the development of contractures in patients who are at risk due to immobility, neurological disorders, or post-operative conditions.
  • Restoration of Mobility: By gradually stretching contracted muscles and joints, these products help restore a range of motion and improve functional mobility.
  • Pain Management: Proper joint alignment and gradual stretching can alleviate pain associated with contractures and immobility.
  • Enhanced Recovery: For patients recovering from surgery or injury, these orthoses support the rehabilitation process by maintaining proper joint positioning and preventing complications.


Algeos' orthotic therapy range for contracture management and restorative medical needs includes a variety of specialised orthoses and splints designed to prevent and treat joint and muscle contractures. These products are essential for improving mobility, managing pain, and supporting recovery in patients with diverse medical conditions.
