Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a dynamic splinting system for wrist extension contracture following a distal radius fracture.

Interventions

DEVICEWrist Extension Dynasplint

Dynamic Splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load, Prolonged-Duration Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated, adjustable tension to increase the Total End Range Time (TERT) to reduce contracture. The Knee Extension Dynasplint for the Experimental group will have tension chambers delivering therapeutic treatment from the device.
