Static splinting requires less therapist training and offers greater patient convenience and is a promising protocol that should be evaluated in a larger study (Fig 1, Table 2). Patients who received static splinting had similar outcomes to those who received the dynamic splinting. comparing postoperative dynamic- versus static- splinting outcomes of patients.

ASHT Splint/Orthosis Classification System. The splint can be ordered as a Dynamic Splint (LLPS) which provides a spring loaded mechanism that allows for a low load prolonged stretch, or as a Static-Progressive Splint, depending on what is ordered by the physician. Hand Outcomes Questionnaire subset of work performance (21.00 ± 14.75 vs 3.13 ± 14.13, p < 0.05) and Jebsen-Taylor Test (−11.58 ± 5.44 vs −2.81 ± 3.23, p < 0.03). referred to as dynamic splinting), static progressive stretch devices. Direction(s) of Torque Application (flex, ext, etc.) Orthotic Intervention for the Hand and Upper Extremity, 2014. Compared with the dynamic group, the static group showed greater improvements in the Michigan. The company claims the design helps correct flexion contracture of the proximal. Both static and dynamic groups showed improvement on several function and performance measures. This FingerPress static splint comes with a warning about using it under supervision of a hand therapist or surgeon. All patients underwent surgery by the same hand surgeon, and most of the patients were treated by the same certified hand therapist. Function and performance variables were measured preoperatively and 3 months after surgery. These patients were compared with those of a historical control group ( n = 10) who received dynamic splinting. Nine consecutive patients received static splinting in this study. Dynamic splinting is recommended after proximal interphalangeal joint pyrocarbon implant arthroplasty however, static splinting may be more feasible to deliver.

The purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness of static splinting after arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis. Nonrandomized mixed current and historical cohort follow-up study.
