Objective: The clinic effect of the treatment of fracture of tibial platean by bone setting, shapeable splint external fixation and calcaneus traction was evaluated and its mechanism was discussed.
After reading this article, clinicians should be better equipped to successfully implement splint therapy into their armamentarium of treatment options in managing masticatory system disorders.
This study specifically shows that when athletes put a splint in their mouth that aligns their jaw, it gives them more mobility in their cervical spine and more stability in their stance.
Changes like keeping the axis of the hands parallel to each other and the table, using a computer mouse instead of a trackpad and wearing wrist supports in splints while typing can all be super helpful.
