Kim, I have used the more flexible type of splints with neuro clients with good results while on therapy... NeuroFlex splints paired with neurostretch technique... After they are discharged from services, the carryover, wearing time and consistency of technique is not as accurate as I would like It to be.

After working with this population for the past year since I graduated, I am realizing that thermoplastic resting hand splints are not working. Many of these patient's splints I have repaired multiple times due to breakdown of the splint from high tone fluctuations. Also, I'm hearing more and more about the need for flexible finger platform resting hand splints for the neuro population to decrease IP joint damage. I tried the SaeboStretch with a patient and did not have good luck at all. Now I'm considering trying the DynaPro Finger Flex but want to make sure it's a good product since the patient is already stuck paying a restocking fee for the splint I am returning. Has any used this product and what did they think? The main patient I'm considering right now has mild tone at rest, increasing moderate to max with exertion. The DynaPro Finger> Flex description sounds like it would meet my needs better than a firm, typical resting hand splint. Let me know if anyone has experience with this product or has a great resting hand splint they find effective with the neuro population.
