splinted
Immobilized with supports
Splinted describes something fitted with a splint—a rigid support used to immobilize an injured limb or broken bone: Her splinted arm rested in a sling.
The term applies to medical treatment or first aid where movement must be prevented during healing.
By extension, anything braced or supported rigidly might be described as splinted.
