It’s actually important that when you face with a patient with spasticity with any reasons. how you reduce the patient’s spasticity? it could make them contracture following skin trauma to infection. Contracture will make them permanent damage if it is unable to fix. When I was a first year physical therapist, I deeply thought that I need to make them help. But how? In this question, I think that you should think yourself why spasticity can reduce by using splint? the question is just a simple splint name but eventually you should understand why and what can you do for your patient.
