Abstract
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.Keywords
