Static Progressive Addition to the DIP Blocking Splint

A few days later I decided to modify my pt's DIP blocking splint because he was getting frustrated having to switch different splints all the time. His initial static progressive splint was a forearm based splint which was often bulky and a pain to drag around. The main idea was to develop a 2 in 1 splint, with both a static progressive component and a active blocking exercise option. He wears the pulleys for up to 20 min 4x a day and follows with blocking exercises.
