Dynamic Splints, what are they?
These custom-made devices, used to support the hand, wrist or fingers while allowing controlled movement gently provide guided motion using components like elastic bands, springs or outriggers.
At The Hands Physio, we use dynamic splinting as part of a tailored rehabilitation plan to help manage stiffness, protect healing tissues and encourage safe movement during recovery (if required of course).
Working toward their accreditation, several members of our team attended the Australian Hand Therapy Association's Mobilisation Course recently, where they practiced a range of dynamic splints, aimed at increasing movement post injury or surgery for patients, like the green splints pictured here.
We think it's safe to say, the team thoroughly enjoyed the course and its practical and hands on nature. Not too sure we'll start making green splints though..sorry all! ๐
