Study Summary

This trial tests if custom 3D-printed finger splints improve patient satisfaction and function better than traditional splints. 50 people with hyperextended fingers will wear either one for 1 month and be surveyed at the end.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 with hyperextended finger joints, which may include swan-neck deformity. It's suitable for those who can wear a finger splint for a month, whether or not they're pregnant and regardless of previous orthosis use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares user satisfaction and functional status between conventional thermoplastic finger splints and customizable 3D-printed ones. Fifty participants will be assigned to one of the two groups by researchers and will use their designated splints for one month.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed, potential issues could include discomfort from wearing the splint, skin irritation under the device, or reduced mobility in the affected finger.
