An orthopedic device (10) is provided for the treatment of physical disorders characterized by region(s) of localized, undue compression of body tissue leading to nerve compression and/or damage, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. A carpal tunnel syndrome treatment device (10) in accordance with the invention includes a central, resilient, stretchable tensioning segment (12) with a plurality of relatively less stretchable adhesive straps (14-18) secured to the segment (12). In use, the segment (12) is placed on the back of a patient's hand (20) whereupon the straps (14-18) are pulled and adhered to the patient's palm in a fashion to expand the segment (12). In this orientation, the control segment (12) exerts continuous yielding or tensile forces through the straps (14-18) which in turn reduces carpal tunnel syndrome nerve compression and alleviates symptoms.
Cette invention a trait à un appareillage orthopédique (10), destiné au traitement de troubles physiologiques caractérisés par la présence de zones de compression localisée et anormale du tissu corporel entraînant une compression des nerfs et/ou des dommages physiques, notamment, le syndrome du canal carpien. Cet appareillage de traitement (10) du syndrome du canal carpien comprend un élément central, élastique et étirable, de mise en tension (12), auquel sont fixées plusieurs bandes adhésives relativement moins étirables (14-18). En utilisation, l'élément (12) est placé sur la paume de la main du patient (20), après quoi les bandes (14, 18) sont étirées et collées sur la paume afin de développer l'élément (12). Ainsi placé, cet élément (12) exerce un effort de traction grâce aux bandes (14-18) qui, à leur tour, réduisent la compression sur le nerf et, partant, soulagent les symptômes du syndrome du canal carpien.
