"Dynasplint^® Systems have been shown to be significantly effective in restoring post-operative range of motion flowing hallux valgus (Bunion) surgery and in the treatment of chronic plantar faciiitis and heel pain. Clinical study has been performed and has demonstrated a 50% average reduction in rehabilitation time and cost with the use of Dynasplint^® Systems."

- Darren J Courtright, DPM CT.

"Following my bunionectomy, I found myself in a post-op shoe, limping in pain, with no high heels in sight. . . for a long, long time. Being a fashion-forward 24 year old, I knew that my future consisted of sneakers, and then flats if I did really well. When the surgeon’s assistant removed my sutures, she said that I must grab my toe and crank it back and forth. It was excruciatingly painful, and I asked how many times I had to do that a day. She answered, “100.” I couldn’t image torture worse than that. I knew of Dynasplint^®, and requested one. They obliged, and my Dynasplint^® consultant fitted me with 2 units; one for extension and one for flexion. I wore them at my desk, increasing time and tension according to my instructions. They did not hurt me at all, to the extent that I was wondering if they were doing anything! Three months later, I am returning the units. I am back at the gym, enjoying spinning, Pilates and the elliptical without any pain. Best news of all- I had my final surgical check up and I have graduated to “pretty shoes” in record time! Yeah Dynasplint^®!"

Hallux Varus

For those with a stiff or floating great toe, putting on a shoe or walking can be an unhappy task. Now there’s help to not only restore this lost range of motion, but to restore quality of life – the way it ought to be.

The Hallux Varus (HV) System was developed to restore lost range of motion due to injury, trauma or surgery. Most commonly, the HV System is used after bunionectomy or arthroplasty surgeries. As with all Dynasplint^® Systems, the HV System applies a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS) directly across the joint axis.

Hallus Valgus

If an individual suffers from a deformity in which the great toe is angled towards the other toes, the Hallus Valgus Dynasplint^® System can help.

For more information on our HV System please check out our HV Flyer (PDF).

What to Expect

When your doctor orders the Dynasplint^® System for you, a Consultant will meet you at the doctor’s or therapist's office. They will complete the rental agreement, get your insurance information and then custom fit the unit to your toe. They will instruct you how and when to wear your Dynasplint^®System. It is always worn when you are relaxed and inactive, perhaps while watching TV or sleeping.

You may ask, “what if I cannot sleep through the night with my Dynasplint^® System?” Ideally, wearing your Dynasplint^® for 6-8 continuous hours yields the best results as it allows a safe, long lasting remodeling of the soft tissue. We also understand that not everyone can sleep all night in their Dynasplint^® System. We ask that you try to get as much time as you possibly can in the splint. We recommend putting the splint on before you fall asleep and then the first time it wakes you up, take it off. You can make up any additional wearing time throughout the day during periods of rest like watching television. Even if it’s broken up in a couple of sessions, the more you wear your Dynasplint^® System, in the proper position, the better results you will achieve.

You will experience some mild post-wear stiffness, and this is used as a measuring stick. Your consultant will check with you by phone the day following your fitting, and then see you in person in about one week. Press PLAY on the video below to see how to apply and wear your Dynasplint^® System.

How is This Going to Help Me?

Memories of drawing pictures in the sand with our toes, dipping our feet in a cold stream or just taking a brisk walk all bring a smile to our faces. But for those with stiff and limited range of motion in the great toe, simply putting on a shoe can be an unhappy task. If your toe has been immobilized for a period of time the connective tissue has shortened and must be stretched slowly to allow remodeling to take place.

Using the Toe Dynasplint^® System at home in conjunction with your physical therapy program will provide the combination to help get you moving freely again. The technology behind each Dynasplint^® System is designed to mimic a therapist’s hands. The tension is reproducible and evenly distributed every time you wear your splint.

Think of a rubber band that you expand and snap for the first time. Once released, it snaps back to the original size. But, if you take the rubber band and place it on your car visor for the whole summer, after removing it-you’ll see that it’s permanently changed. That’s what happens when you wear your Dynasplint^® System. unlike static splinting or serial casting which do not constantly seek an end range of motion.

Here’s the good news: clinical studies have demonstrated a 53% average reduction in rehabilitation time and cost with the use of Dynasplint^® Systems in conjunction with physical therapy. Over 400,000 patients have been successfully treated with Dynasplint^® Systems. Read the testimonial on the left to be encouraged by another’s success story.

The Rebound Effect

"High-force, short-duration stretching favors recoverable, elastictissue 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.*

Patient Wearing Protocol

Please review the tension your Dynasplint^® consultant set for you initially.

On the first day wear your Dynasplint^® for 10 minutes, for three sessions. Increase the time in your Dynasplint^® a few minutes each day as tolerated until you work up to one hour three times a day.

Keep the tension where the Dynasplint^® representative set it until you are wearing for one hour, three times a day. After that, increase the tension by a half turn on each side as tolerated until you reach a maximum tension of 4.

Never sacrifice time for tension.

During the process of regaining your range of motion, if you have any question or concerns contact your Dynasplint^® consultant.
