Dynasplint® Reviews: Nikki Brown Neurological Splint Story

www.dynasplint.com - In this Dynasplint review, Nikki Brown tells us how Neurological splints have helped her recover from a traumatic brain injury due to a motor vehicle accident in November of 2008. After clinging to life in the ICU and spending 47 days in a coma, the long road and hard work of recovery began. Dynasplint Neurological Sales Consultant, Shannon Wade COTA became involved, and the Neurological Knee Extension Dynasplint, Neurological Elbow Extension Dynasplint, and later the Neurological Wrist Extension Dynasplint were critical elements in helping Nikki achieve what she has so far- which is nothing short of a miracle.

Applying the Neurological Shoulder Dynasplint® System

www.dynasplint.com The neurological patient is an excellent candidate for dynamic splinting and thus, the Shoulder Dynasplint® Systems. The spring-loaded tension system safely accommodates a patient's tone by moving with the patient during episodes of resistance or spasms. When tone is challenged with a consistent, even force that fatigues the muscle and mentally relaxes the patient to accept the Dynasplint®, the spring tension systems then bring the patient back to their end-range to continue a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch (LLPS). By normalizing tone and gaining ROM for the future, Dynasplint® Systems can be beneficial for existing contracture patients, as well as, those new patients who need early intervention. A long-term wearing schedule is always recommended for both contracture management and prevention by delivering a daily program of ROM with tone inhibiting therapy while the patient is resting at home.
