Effect on Passive Range of Motion and Functional Correlates After a Long‐Term Lower Limb Self‐Stretch Program in Patients With Chronic Spastic Paresis

“…This study investigated the effects of a self-stretch method in patients with chronic spastic paresis using a novel program, the GSC [16]. Although there is no consensus regarding stretching modalities in this population [13], most agree that high load and long daily duration of stretch are important requirements for effectiveness [8,41,42]. The program prescribed in this study included static high load self-stretches for a cumulative period !15 minutes a day per muscle.…”

Treatment of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Flexion Contracture: Combined Static and Dynamic Orthotic Intervention Compared With Other Therapy Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…7 Patients included in our study had sustained finger damage between 4 weeks and 6 months previously, which could be the reason that we found improvements in both groups.…”

“…Prospective studies such as those of Flowers and Lastayo, where serial orthoses were applied with application of local heat and exercises, demonstrated a greater improvement in the range of motion in the group where the orthotic was applied for longer. 7 In the Flowers and Lastayo study, however, there was not a control group with only orthotic treatment in order to determine the effectiveness of the orthotic intervention. In other experiments, dynamic orthotics were applied.…”

High-intensity stretch treatment for severe postoperative adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder

“…First, the treatment protocol for HIS follows the concept of total end range time [33,34], in which gains in ROM in a stiff joint are directly proportional to the time spent stretching that joint at its end ROM. Second, the HIS device in this study was patient-controlled, manual, and hydraulically sensitive to allow for kinesthetic feedback and quick release.…”
