Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine range of motion and lasting effects of Botox injections along with the use of the Supination Dynasplint.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Dynasplint Group Along with the standard of care Botox and manual therapy, patients will use the Supination Dynasplint every day |
Device: Dynasplint
Dynamic splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load Prolonged Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated adjustable tension to increase Total End Range Time (TERT)to reduce contracture. The Dynasplint or "Experimental" group will add this therapy to their standard of care regimen
|
No Intervention: Standard of care Patients in the standard of care group will have the standard Botox treatments and manual therapy with no additional interventions. |
