Immobilization itself is specified as a method of carrying a joint or bone in its place with a help of a splint, cast, or brace. This process is applied in order to prevent injured place from movements while it heals.
Purposes of orthopedics, immobilization devices:
• Splints, casts, and braces are used to support and protect broken bones, dislocated joint and injured tissues
• Motions are restricted in order to allow injured areas to heal
• To reduce pain, swelling, muscle spasms
• In some cases, splints and casts are used after surgical procedures to repair bones, tendons or ligaments

The cast, splint, or brace will generally extend from the joint above the injury to the joint below the injury when an arm, hand, leg, or foot requires immobilization.

The hip, upper thigh, shoulder or upper arm injuries require a cast that encloses the body and extends down the injured arm or leg.
