Thermoplastic splinting is a treatment modality used by neurological physiotherapists to maintain muscle length and
range of movement. It involves the use of mouldable heated plastic that is made to fit the individual and worn to keep the arm, leg or trunk in a certain position. It is very useful when individuals are unable to stretch the muscle independently due to
weakness,
pain or
spasticity. At Physio.co.uk, one of our specialist therapists will assess your eligibility for thermoplastic splinting and discuss the advantages and benefits of this useful treatment technique.
