 The aims of this study was to know the effect of originally made orthosis for ulnar deviation of 10 RA female clients in 1991.

 Methods: We drew a comparison between originally made orthosises and two other likeness orthosises. The method of verdict on effect was measurement of grip power to dominant hand and ADL (involved partial APDL) evaluation. 5 out of 10 clients were stage II, and the rest of them were stage III on classification of steinbrocker. Their average age was 49 + 5.5 ages (41〜57 ages).

 Results & Discussion: To correct ulnar deviation, a orthosis usually made to correct 2nd finger through 5th finger toward from ulnar side to radial side. However, for II & III stage client, this original orthosis was made to correct the 2nd & 3rd finger only. About 1 cm width, by 10cm length bar was applied along 2nd finger's lateral side up to MP joint. Since this bar gave firm support, it caused the 4th & 5th finger to move and work more easily with the 2nd & 3rd finger. This resulted in: (1) made 3 finger pinch easier, (2) released pain at MP joint, (3) improved 4th and 5th finger deformity due to skin contact area lessened; this increased the hand sensory area which encouraged hand use, (5) regained grip power, therefore, daily working hours prolonged and daily activation was increased.
