Testimonials:

"In February of this year I was confirmed with a preliminary diagnosis of a "frozen shoulder." My Doctor recommendation was surgery to break apart the scar tissue and removal of the tissue to prevent possible recurrence of the problem. Since the images taken with both x-ray and MRI showed no underlying cause for my problem, I felt it could be remedied with a little more perseverance on my behalf. After following the exercise program outlined for me and using the Dynasplint^® System, I am happy to report to you that I have made a remarkable recovery. My range of motion is all but 100% recovered and I feel certain it will be fully returned in a short amount of time. I believe this course of action has prevented me from having to undergo surgery!"

“Dynasplint^® has been very successful with my shoulder patient’s experiencing motion problems. Every shoulder surgeon needs this in their arsenal for obtaining excellent outcomes.”

- J. Calvin Johnson, M.D.

“I had my shoulder unit for a little over a week…. I was excited because in just a matter of days I gained so much range of motion that I was able to swim and actually get my left arm up over the water… something that I haven’t been able to do in well over a year even with several weekly visits to the Physical Therapist. It feels wonderful to wake up in the morning and be able to stretch, to comb my hair and drive my car without pain. I love the shoulder unit. I get a good stretch with a minimum of pain and discomfort. I can do this on my own time without having to go down to physical therapy. What a wonderful and easy way to heal. Thanks so much. ”

"On March 10th, I was introduced to the Dynasplint^® for the shoulder and it seriously saved my life. I had 120 degrees of flexion, 40 degrees external rotation, and 90 degrees of abduction. I would lose it every time I left therapy and just the simple things like washing my hair and shaving were difficult, let alone trying to do my construction work. I used the Dynasplint^® 2 times a day for ten minutes and working up to 15 minutes. Within 7 days I had increased my flexion to 155, external rotation to 52 and Abduction to 135!!I was so pleased and so were my therapists. I had more gains with the Dynasplint^® then I had in therapy."

How is This Going to Help Me?

Freezing, frozen or thawing shoulders not only cause pain but limit everything we do from dressing to reaching. If your shoulder has limited range of motion or joint stiffness and is causing frustration with daily activities, forcing you to sit on the sidelines or experience pain, you know that’s not the way it ought to be. Using the Shoulder Dynasplint^® System at home in conjunction with your physical therapy program will provide the combination to help get you moving freely again.

The technology and mechanics behind each Dynasplint^® System are designed to mimic a therapist’s hands, only better, as the tension of the Dynasplint^® System is reproducible each and every day 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.

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.

What to Expect

When your doctor orders the Dynasplint^® System for you, a consultant will meet you at the doctor’s or therapists’ office. They will complete the rental agreement, get your insurance information and then custom fit the unit to your shoulder. 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.

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.
