For carpal tunnel syndrome the wrist orthosis with writs in the neutral position is used. The orthotist is has to be included. His role is to properly made, adjust and fit the orthoses. Night splint for carpal tunnel syndrome can be done also by occupational therapist.
Summary		Najbolj pogosti okvari perifernih živcev s katerimi se srečujemo v klinični praksi sta na spodnjem udu okvara peronealnega živca ter utesnitev medianega živca v zapestnem prehodu na zgornjem udu. Pri prvi okvari uporabljamo ortozo za gleženj in stopalo, ki je lahko serijska, polizdelek ali redko individualno narejena ter na telo deluje s tremi silami v sagitalni ravnini. Pri utesnitvi medianega živca v zapestnem prehodu uporabljamo individualno narejeno ortozo za zapestje v nevtralnem položaju. Obe morata biti pravilno izdelani, prilagojeni in nameščeni, kar zna in mora narediti diplomiran inženir ortotike in protetike. Nočno ortozo za zapestje lahko izdela tudi diplomiran delovni terapevt.
