A splint is a device used for support or immobilization of a limb or the spine. It can be used in multiple situations, including temporary immobilization of potentially broken bones or damaged joints and support for joints during activity. == Uses == * By the emergency medical services or by volunteer first responders, to temporarily immobilize a fractured limb before transportation; * By allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists and orthotists, to immobilize an articulation (e.g. the knee) that can be freed while not standing (e.g. during sleep); * By athletic trainers to immobilize an injured bone or joint to facilitate safer transportation of the injured person; or * By emergency room (ER) physicians to stabilize fractures or sprains until follow-up appointment with an orthopedist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Splint (medicine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
