  • Page 2: Fitting Instructions

    FITTING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Movement and rattling of spacer in the tension window is normal. This will subside when more tension is applied to the tension screw. STANDARD FITTING INSTRUCTIONS: STEP 1: Completely open top-of-forearm cuff and strap. Loosen the bottom-of- forearm cuff.
  • Page 3 STEP 16: Make a reference line with a marker on the top-of-forearm cuff and counter- force strap so that the patient knows where to close them. STEP 17: Have the patient practice applying and removing the unit. Give the patient the Patient Instruction Booklet to take home with the Dynasplint® Wrist Extension System.

  • Page 4: Standard Protocol

    Patients should wear the unit at the lowest tolerable tension setting for the longest time possible. Optimally, the patient will wear the Dynasplint® System for six to eight continuous hours, usually overnight. The tension should be set to produce as much as, but not more than, one hour of post-wear stiffness beyond normal discomfort.

  • Page 5: Tension Adjustment

    NEUROLOGICAL PROTOCOL: Neurological patients being fit in a standard unit that is neurologically dressed should follow the NEUROLOGICAL protocol. Please see the Neurological Wrist Extension Clini- cian Booklet for detailed instructions. nOTE: Tension settings are different for the standard and neurological systems. If patient is transferring from a NEUROLOGICAL unit to a STANDARD unit that is neuro- logically dressed, please see the tension scale below to adjust tension properly.
