Removal of the air splint
• Remove in standing if the client is safe; otherwise sit to take it off.
• Inform the client that the air splint is to be removed.
• Deflate the air splint.
• Ask the client if he is aware of changes in sensation or in movement of the limb.
• Open the zip and remove the air splint.
• Passively mobilise all joints (see preparation for application) and re-evaluate the response to stretch
reflex sensitivity.
• Depending on the problem and aim of the session practice the exercises again without air splints.
Precautions
•
Never
walk in the leg and foot air splint for standing (side stepping is allowed) as it produces an
abnormal gait pattern.
• Ensure no air is under the heel when it is in the air splint.
•
Never
use a manual pump to inflate this splint.
•
Never
pull the air splint off - always let the air out first.
• Do not leave the air splints on for more than 30- 45 minutes. If necessary take off and re-apply. To
mobilise tight muscle groups apply the air splint 2-3 times daily for 20 minutes.
•
Never
use the air splints for positioning overnight.
The main aim of this User Guide is to help you to correctly apply the Urias
®
Johnstone air splints as
recommended by the group of PANat teachers.
The choice and usage of the air splints in a therapeutic setting will depend on your clinical reasoning and the
therapist/patient goal.
The usage of the tools as part of an effective neurological rehabilitation program is the responsibility of the
clinician.
