Résumé

Introduction: Our objective was to evaluate the impact of using neoprene orthosis in wrist and/or hand disorders, in the workplace.

Methods: The sample is non-probabilistic for convenience and in a total sample of 15 adults, 7 individuals were in the control group and 8 in the intervention group. The variables considered in this study were the overall muscle strength of the hand and pinch, protective sensitivity of the hands, perception of pain and functionality of the upper limb. To measure these variables, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, Quickdash, Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test, manual dynamometer (Jamar) and clamp dynamometer (Jamar) were applied. For the participants of the intervention group, two orthosis in neoprene were made, one for each hand, covering the thumb and wrist joints, with 5.5 mm of thickness; this group also had therapeutic education.

Results: Regarding the sensitivity assessment at the first moment of evaluation, there are no significant differences observed, with the exception of the S1 area of the left hand. Generally, the intervention group showed greater gains than the control group, with statistically significant differences in the strength of the right and left hands digital pinch, sensory areas S2 of the right hand and S5 of the left hand and functionality of the upper limb.

Conclusion: After conducting this study, it is possible to see that the intervention group showed general improvements in all variables, which may suggest the effectiveness of using neoprene orthosis in the workplace.
