50 Years of Relative Motion: Changing Practice
DescriptionRelative motion started out as a simple clinical concept, which applied the relationship between anatomy and motion delivered by a simple ‘splint’ to mobilized extensor tendons. After 50 years, not only has this use of relative motion been globally incorporated into therapy practice, new uses for both the concept and the orthosis continue to emerge.
This journey of Relative Motion reminds us that questions generated by clinicians can change practice. I am honored to share with you how collaborating with many clinicians contributed to the evolution of a simple clinical idea into a concept and orthoses supported by science.
