The positioning, rotation, flexion and/or extension of spastic musculature have been used for decades to prevent and/or correct deformations. Orthopaedic appliances fitted with dynamic Ultraflex® 3 hinges can be constructed in such a way that they stretch in a physiologically correct manner the soft tissue and muscles which keep the joint constrained. Thus the limb is brought to rest in a better position and the patient becomes more functional. The torque exercised is always adjusted individually below the spastic tonus and/or below the level of pain. In doing so, a low, persistant, progressive force is used, that slowly increases and is spread over a long period in order to increase the Total End Range Time.
