| 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.* |

“Dynasplint®
Systems have been shown to be significantly effective in restoring
postoperative range of motion following hallux valgus (bunion)
surgery and in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis and
heel pain. Clinical studies have been performed and have demonstrated
a 53% average reduction in rehabilitation time with the use
of Dynasplint® Systems.”
