| Özet |
| Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a common inherited peripheral nerve disorder. Although lower extremity deformities are more common in patients with CMT, claw-hand deformities and monkey hand deformities are also frequently seen. If these deformities are not corrected, they impair the biomechanics of the hand. Orthoses made of thermoplastic material are often used to correct these deformities. In this case, the results of the lumbrical bar orthosis applied to the bilateral claw-hand deformity in a patient with CMT are presented. Before and after orthosis use, dexterity was evaluated with the Purdue Pegboard test, hand grip strength was evaluated with a manual hand dynamometer, and pinch strength was evaluated with a pinchmeter. As a result of the evaluations, it was seen that the lumbrical bar orthosis corrected the claw-hand deformity, but did not cause improvements in hand grip strength, pinch strength and dexterity. |
