When the thumb is injured due to an acute injury or chronic illness, pain and loss of function can significantly impact daily life. The Actimove Rhizo Forte is a 'one of a kind' brace designed to immobilise the carpometacarpal (CMC) and first metacarpophalangeal (MCP1) joints of the thumb, placing it in a functional position to support pain relief — all without restricting movement of the wrist or the other four fingers. Suitable for everyday wear, the low-profile design with smooth edges provides high wearing comfort, and a mouldable aluminium core allows the brace to be individually shaped to the palm for a customised fit. Dirt- and water-resistant construction makes it suitable for everyday activities, including contact with food, and closures allow the brace to be secured easily with one hand.
Key features:
- Functional stabilisation of the CMC and MCP1 joints — supports pain relief while preserving hand function
- Mouldable aluminium core — individually adjustable for a customised fit
- Low-profile design with smooth edges — high wearing comfort
- One-handed closure system — easy to secure independently
