Ongoing Care Solutions DynaPro® Hyperextension Flex Knee- The DynaPro® Hyperextension Flex Knee is a Static- Dynamic orthotic device with dual single setting hinges which should be set at 15° of greater flexion than comfortable end range passive stretch to initiate a therapeutic anti-spasticity stretch (i.e., with max knee flexion of 45 degrees, both upright hinges are set at -60° degrees of flexion. The unique flexible properties of the elbow orthotic device will facilitate muscle inhibition to predispose the affected joint(s) to the benefits of Low Load Prolonged Stretch (LLPS) provided by the orthotic. By increasing wearing time to three to six hours per use, the Total End Range Time (TERT) of device wear allows the Muscle Spindle to re-set at a greater resting length, providing long effects stretch and permanent increases in joint range of motion over time. The device should be modified by resetting the hinges as needed into greater flexion every 6 to 8 weeks to continue contracture reversal. Orthotic treatment should be continued until function is restored to the affected joint. Ideal "static - dynamic" therapy to reverse mild to severe hyperextension related muscle tissue shortening contractures or extensor tone of the knee. Orthotic therapy for mild to severe extensor muscle adaptive tissue shortening contracture or extensor tone of the knee (leg will not fully flex). The flexible uprights will "give" with an involuntary episode of tone (extensor tone). Excellent for treating hyperextension of the knee for patients with or without spasticity. The knee should demonstrate good end feel to passive stretch and significant gains in ROM should be anticipated. Effective treatment to restore knee flexion to approximately 100° of maximum knee flexion.
