BMI elbow braces are prefabricated and designed to treat and correct elbow flexion contractures. There are three treatment options for these contractures. First is a soft splinting method that uses a bolster of beads that are lightweight but keep the elbow from flexing on moderate contractures. Second is a dynamic option (FlexEzeTM) which will impede flexion for the more severe or neurological contractures. Third is the medial lateral goniometer hinge which allows for setting in flexion for static control. The goniometer is applied to the outside of the elbow so that no hard points are in contact with the patients’ body.
