Use of elbow dynasplint for reduction of elbow flexion contractures: a case study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A severe elbow flexion contracture following a supracondylar fracture in a 13-yearold- male was treated with conventional physical therapy and an adjustable dynamic splint, the elbow Dynasplint(R). The Dynasplint was applied primarily at night. The patient achieved complete resolution of his flexion contracture. The Dynasplint incorporates the principles of adjustable, low-intensity force for prolonged durations of time.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1984;5(5):269-274.

متن کاملAlterations in functional movement after axillary burn scar contracture: a motion analysis study.
Children with axillary burns often develop scar contractures that restrict shoulder movement. Objective data on functional movement patterns after contracture formation is sparse. The purpose of this study was to determine how axillary contractures affect shoulder movement during activities of daily living (ADLs). This was a prospective study of children with axillary contractures scheduled for...
