Short Description: This study retrospectively investigated the effectiveness of a static progressive stretch (SPS) splint in posttraumatic wrist stiffness and examined the correlation between improved strength and wrist range of motion to patients' reported upper extremity function as measured by the Disability in the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire. Function improved as pronation or wrist extension motion increased.
