Support for Hand Contracture & Finger Stiffness 

Living with a hand contracture—whether due to arthritis, injury, or neurological conditions—can make everyday tasks feel frustrating. At ADS Australia, we offer a practical range of hand splints for contractures that are designed to relieve stiffness, improve alignment, and support function. 

Our range includes soft and firm splints for hands, forearm splints, and finger separators, all developed to assist with gentle positioning and support for fingers, hands, and wrists. These aids are ideal for people managing conditions like stroke, cerebral palsy, Dupuytren’s contracture, or arthritis finger pain. 

Each contracture hand splint is designed to help slow the progression of contractures by holding the hand in a more natural, extended position. This encourages better joint alignment, reduces tightness, and can help with finger contracture treatment over time. 

If you're experiencing joint stiffness, pain, or finger curling due to arthritis or muscle weakness, our arthritis hand support range can help reduce pain and maintain mobility. Our forearm splints also offer extended support for wrist positioning, particularly for overnight use. 

We understand that no two hands are the same. That’s why our splints come in various styles, materials, and sizes—some even with adjustable straps for a more customised fit. 

At ADS, our goal is simple: to help you move with more ease, dignity, and independence.
