The neurological patient is an excellent candidate for Neurological Dynasplint® Systems. Dynasplint® Systems direct a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS) directly across the joint axis using a bilateral tensioning system. LLPS has been used successfully for over 50 years to treat joint stiffness and limited range of motion caused by shortened connective tissue. The bilateral dynamic tensioning system safely accommodates the patient’s tone; moving with the patient during episodes of resistance or spasms. It constantly seeks the patient’s available end range of motion and continues to gently stretch the joint.
Dynasplint® Systems can be beneficial for both existing contracture patients, as well as those new tone patients in need of early intervention. Early application of Dynasplint® Systems can prevent contractures from forming and help maintain range of motion for the future. Used as an adjunct to occupational and physical therapy, Dynasplint® Systems have been proven to significantly improve patient outcomes.
