The Joint Articulating Splint was forgotten until I prodded Kaiser.
Reading the reply, I wish that I had left well enough alone.
A mere 2-4 pain level on a scale of 0-10 is recommended:
"Typically the JAS rep who fits the pt with the splint will talk about usage and protocol, but sounds like that was missed this time. "
"They are supposed to use the JAS splint for 30 min, 3 times a day for each direction they are working on. They are to adjust the splint for slightly more stretch approximately every 5 minutes during that 30 minute timeframe."
"When using the JAS, it should be a stretch, but not overly painful- they recommend a 2-4/10 only on the pain scale."
I have three business days to plan my escape before Torquemada arrives.
