Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to an angular digital device for joint deformity or imbalance. A device formed from a dense soft material shaped to fit a digit with straight segments and angled transitions at the interphalangeal joint levels such that rotational force(s) are created at the joint line(s). Additionally, an 'open transition' design with a dorsal strap element is described, and a design with an additional moldable, semi-rigid component added. A retention strap is described to prevent the splint from migrating off during sleep.
