Abstract
A dynamic splint which braces any joint and particularly any body joint, and is capable of cyclically moving the joint through a programmable range of motion while accommodating normal joint component motion and triplant motion. In a preferred embodiment, an extendable cable with a cable sleeve mounted on one limb and a rotatable inner threaded cable threaded through a threaded mounting bracket on the other limb extends and contacts to cause flexing and extension of the joint.
