The ability to provide combined (synergistic) ROM therapy of wrist and finger extension offers
extrinsic stretch of the long forearm flexor musculature. Tightness in the long forearm flexor
musculature often results in deficits regarding functional hand use. This happens especially when
a patient is trying to achieve a biomechanical movement requiring the combined motions of wrist
and digit extension (ie. reaching for & turning a door knob) which is not possible due to an
inappropriate tenodesis moment from long flexor tightness.
The combined (synergistic) ROM therapy of wrist and finger flexion also offers extrinsic stretch of
the long forearm extensor musculature. Tightness in the long forearm extensor musculature often
results in deficits regarding functional hand use as the patient will frequently complain of hand
weakness especially when trying to put an object down as during the biomechanical release phase
of grasp and release, inappropriate extrinsic extensor tightness will cause the patient to drop
objects due to an inappropriate tenodesis moment from long extensor tightness.
Both of the aforementioned clinical examples occur because of the increased length tension
relationship of the extrinsic flexors and extensors. This clinically manifested shortening can
contribute to increased indemnity costs as the patients’ safe return to work is further delayed due
to improperly operating biomechanical anatomy.
The Stat-A-Dyne ROM device may also provide isolated wrist capsule stretch due to its ability to
position the fingers in flexion with wrist extension and the fingers in extension with wrist flexion.
Due to the device’s ability to address both the wrist and digits, the Stat-A-Dyne ROM System differentiates itself clinically by offering a myriad of treatment options.
