Adjustable resistance orthopedic splint

摘要

An adjustable resistance orthopedic splint has two arms hinged to each other, each arm having two parallel spaced apart tubular segments joined by an application pad. A cable stretched between the arms is contained in the tubular segments and partially wrapped around the hinge. The cable is held under tension by an adjustable spring assembly to apply a variable torque urging the arms apart towards extension about the hinge.
