Adjustable Range of Motion
An adjustable stop allows you to set the range of motion to tailor to specific patient requirements during continuum of care. Decrease the range of motion for newer patients who need extra compression to promote fast healing. Once they are strong enough, you can increase the range of motion to give them more flexibility for day-to-day use.
