DEVICE

Static-Progressive Splint

Static progressive splinting is a well-established adjunct for restoring elbow motion. Such splints apply a static stress relaxation force to the elbow tissues, which is sequentially increased, as motion is achieved.

DEVICE

Dynamic Splint

Dynamic splints are a popular alternative, and apply a constant prolonged force to the tissues as additional motion is achieved.
