A Case of Forearm Rotation Contracture Improved Using a Simple Dynamic Splint

Abstract

Post-injury rotation contractures of the forearm significantly interfere with various activities of daily living, such as washing the face, receiving change, or wiping a desk, and cause distress to patients. The Colello-Abraham dynamic pronation-supination splint is useful for rotation contractures of the forearm；however, the device includes several small parts and a complicated structure, and assembling the appliance requires technical expertise. Here, we report a case of rotation contracture of the forearm that improved following the use of a simple dynamic splint.
