Pediatric/Infant Dynasplint® Systems

Dynasplint Systems, Inc. is the only company to develop a complete line of dynamic splints indicated for range of motion therapy for pediatric and infant patients. Pediatric and Infant Dynasplint® Systems can be used in the treatment of childhood diseases and injury, such as, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, fractures and dislocations. Early application of Pediatric and Infant Dynasplint® Systems restores range of motion that is critical in basic developmental activities such as reaching, crawling, and walking.

Low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS) has been used successfully for more than 50 years to treat joint stiffness and limited range of motion caused by shortened connective tissue. The spring-loaded Dynasplint® Systems constantly seek the patient’s available end range of motion and continue to gently stretch the joint. Dynasplint® Systems’ technology applies LLPS to permanently lengthen soft tissue using the principle of TERT (Total End Range Time).

Dynasplint® Systems are fully adjustable and comfortable, achieving high patient compliance that ultimately leads to high efficacy. They can be used alone or as an adjunct to physical and occupational therapy. Early application can dramatically reduce time and cost associated with range of motion rehabilitation—in many cases by more than 50 percent.

THE REBOUND EFFECT:
“High-force, short-duration stretching favors recoverable, elastic tissue deformation, whereas low-force, long-duration stretching enhances permanent plastic deformation…In the clinical setting, high force application has a greater risk of causing pain and possibly rupture of tissue.*” Dynasplint® Systems improve range of motion by creating permanent, non-traumatic tissue elongation and remodeling, thus virtually eliminating the range of motion rebound effect often observed in the clinical setting.* Graph
