What is a dynamic splint?

Any orthosis that lacks movable parts and is used for positioning, stability, protection, or support.

Why would you use a dynamic splint?

The goal of dynamic splinting is to stress scarred or shortened connective tissue with a LLPS to promote non-traumatic, more permanent tissue remodeling. The lengthened tissue can provide increased range of motion.

What is the difference between a static and dynamic splint?

Static orthoses use a three-point pressure static/inelastic principle, while dynamic orthoses have a static base and a mobilising/ elastic element to assist with the force applied to the joint (Glasgow, Tooth, & Fleming, 2008; Li, 1999).
