Hi Don.  The first thing that pops into my tired brain (it's been a long day...) is the C spine SCI.  You do not want to splint to reduce tendon shortening as "typically" you would-simply because the tightness in this case enhances the individual's ability to use a tenodisis effect to complete any activity requiring grip.

Hello all

  This is my first time posting to the list.  My name is Don and I am finishing up my last level II experience.  I am currently at a nursing home doing restorative therapy.  My supervisor wants me to do an inservice on splinting.  She wants me to research "FOR" splinting and "Against" splinting.  I found the benefits for splinting, but I cant seem to find anything that would contrast that topic. Can anyone help me??

 

Don
