Orfit Splinting Workshop 2026 in Osaka and Aichi

Hands-On Upper Limb Splint Workshop Led by Orfit Clinical Trainer

Hands-On Upper Limb Splint Workshop Led by Orfit Clinical Trainer will be held in two locations: Osaka & Aichi!

In recent years, the importance of splint therapy has been increasingly recognized in the management of upper extremity conditions, post-operative rehabilitation, and neurological disorders. At the same time, clinicians often report challenges such as limited fabrication experience, a shortage of qualified mentors, and insufficient knowledge of material selection.

To address these needs, we are pleased to invite a dedicated trainer from Orfit Industries to lead a hands-on workshop focused on the latest international approaches to splint fabrication, assessment, and clinical application.

In collaboration with the Japan Hand Therapy Society (JHTS), this program aims to enhance splint fabrication skills and promote education in the field of hand therapy in Japan. The workshop will go beyond lectures by emphasizing practical training using Orfit products, allowing participants to systematically learn patient evaluation, splint design, fabrication, fitting, and adjustment. Participants will gain direct access to the latest international knowledge, fabrication techniques, and clinical tips, making this a rare opportunity to learn from an Orfit trainer in Japan.

Beginners are also very welcome! We sincerely look forward to your participation in this special workshop and hope you will join us for an enriching learning experience.
