DYNASPLINTS FOR KNEE FLEXION COTRACTURES

shane jansen

Hi there fellow Orthotists.

I have been asked by a surgeon to obtain a “Dynasplint” to treat a knee

flexion conrtacture of about 25-30 degrees. The patient also has an

Ilizorov bone lengthening device on the lower leg of the affected side.

I can obtain one but they are very expensive.

I have two questions.

1. I’d like to hear from anyone who has used the dynasplint in this

kind of situation. Any tips would be appreciated.

2. I can also obtain a “Pro-glide Dynamic ROM Knee Orthosis” or a

“SP Rom knee Orthosis” (LMB/DeRoyal). I suspect that either of

these would be suitable(with some modification) and would like to

hear from anyone who has used either of these devices in

this kind of situation.

Thank you

I am happy to display the results.
