ABSTRACT:
A dynamic splint is provided which applies a bias force across a body joint with a magnitude which is adjustable at a pivot in the splint. At the pivot, a joint enclosure is provided to house a coiled leaf spring having one end connected to a movable adjustment mechanism. The relative magnitude of the bias is indicated by an indicator bearing numeric markings which moves with movement of the adjustment mechanism. A pin look mechanism is provided for locking pivoted strut members of the splint to prevent relative movement thereof about the pivot.
