Experimental: Dynasplint Group
Along with the standard of care Botox and manual therapy, patients will use the Supination Dynasplint every day
Dynamic splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load Prolonged Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated adjustable tension to increase Total End Range Time (TERT)to reduce contracture. The Dynasplint or "Experimental" group will add this therapy to their standard of care regimen
