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.
Dynasplint Systems, Inc. developed the Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) Extension and Flexion Systems to restore lost range of motion due to injury, trauma, surgery or disease. Most commonly, the MTP Dynasplint® Systems are used after bunionectomy or arthroplasty surgeries, but are also used for non-surgical hallux limitus. As with all Dynasplint® Systems, the MTP Systems apply a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS) directly across the joint axis. They are fully adjustable, comfortable and conveniently labeled for easy use.
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 can be used alone or as an adjunct to physical therapy. Early application can dramatically reduce time and cost associated with range of motion rehabilitation–in many cases by more than 50 percent.*
