Push Ortho CMC Thumb Brace

Description

Push® Ortho CMC Thumb Brace – Endorsed by SA Hand Therapy

At SA Hand Therapy, we value thoughtful design grounded in sound anatomical principles. The Push® Ortho CMC Thumb Brace is engineered to support the thumb’s base joint (CMC joint) and promote stability during daily activities while maintaining functional hand movement.

Designed in collaboration with hand therapy expertise, this brace provides structured support to the thumb CMC joint to assist with joint alignment and controlled movement during gripping and pinching tasks. Its low-profile design allows comfortable wear during a wide range of activities without significantly restricting hand use.

The brace is easy to apply and remove independently and is suitable for use in wet environments and during higher-demand tasks. It may be worn under gloves when required. For best results, it is typically used during activities involving repetitive grip or pinch.

Correct fitting is important. Gentle adjustment of the metal insert at initial application helps achieve an optimal anatomical position. As with all off-the-shelf orthoses, suitability varies — consultation with a qualified hand and upper limb therapist is recommended if you are unsure which option is appropriate.

This product is designed to provide joint support and is commonly used within hand therapy and joint care programs. It is not a substitute for personalised medical assessment or advice.

   4. Consider incorporating a targeted hand and thumb strengthening program alongside splint use where appropriate.
