Description

Description:

This webinar allows the viewer to have insights from Dr. Donald Lalonde on WALANT, true active motion protocols, relative motion, and how to avoid tenolysis. You will be introduced to relative motion and how by using this splint you can do pain guided movement and improve functional use. Robyn discusses what she coins as the WALANT flexor tendon protocol and its application. Robyn also discusses what to do if a patient fails to recover after flexor tendon repair and why traditional therapy fails. She introduces the CMMS technique and why you would apply it. The dynamic duo provides an on the couch session in which they discuss an array of questions about tendon repairs, WALANT and CMMS.

 

  • Observe A2 and A4 pulley venting to allow tendons to glide while avoiding bowstringing
  • Recognize how WALANT allows surgeons to repair tendons while avoiding unnecessary rupture and tenolysis
  • Visualize a “buckle and jerk” phenomenon and why full fist place and hold can be detrimental to tendon repairs.
  • Recognize why and how relative motion orthosis can be used post extensor tendon repair and with other cases
  • Review how synergistic motion is a vital component of flexor tendon rehabilitation
  • Recognize the Manchester Short Splint and its purposes.
  • Review the CMMS technique and how this can reduce the need for tenolysis.

In 2019 Robyn launched the first-of-it’s kind online CMMS course that consists of over 24 hours of theoretical and practical learning to qualify hand therapists to apply the CMMS technique. Robyn’s vision is to heal stiff hands across the globe through teaching and working with hand therapists.
