ABSTRACT:
A dynamic extension splint is provided which has a pair of elongated strut assemblies which each include a pivotal joint. Each strut assembly is removably supported on one side of a strut support unit which operates to mount the strut assemblies on a body member in alignment with a body joint. A strut assembly includes first and second elongated strut members which are flat units which extend from a pivotal joint. This joint connects one end of the first and second strut members for pivotal movement about one or more pivot axes, and a bias unit mounted at the joint opposes pivotal movement of the strut members in one direction and aids such pivotal movement in a second opposite direction. The bias of this bias unit is adjustable by a bias adjustment mechanism also located at the pivotal joint.
