| 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.*

“As
a complement to conventional pharmacologic and physical therapy,
the Dynasplint® Shoulder System is my first choice for continuous
passive stretching in treating adhesive capsulitis. The low-load,
prolonged-duration stretch appears to be a safe and effective
method for regaining range of motion in the glenohumeral point.
Early and appropriate application of this device can be an excellent
tool for treating joint stiffness.”
