    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Traditional splinting methods may limit motion after tendon repair.
    • Early controlled motion is increasingly utilized in tendon repair protocols.
    • Need for devices that provide both protection and controlled mobility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new dynamic splinting method.
    • To enable a greater range of protected motion under constant tension.
    • To facilitate early controlled motion in tendon repair.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel dynamic splinting device.
    • Application of the device in scenarios allowing early controlled motion.
    • Focus on maintaining constant tension during movement.
