Dynamic splints are specialized devices designed to support and improve the movement of joints while allowing for some degree of motion. They are often used in rehabilitation settings to help patients regain function after injuries or surgeries. Unlike traditional splints, which immobilize a joint, dynamic splints apply gentle, adjustable forces to encourage movement and promote healing. These splints can be customized to fit the specific needs of the patient, targeting areas such as the hand, wrist, or elbow. They are commonly used in conditions like tendon injuries or after fractures to enhance recovery and prevent stiffness.
