The SaeboStretch is a revolutionary dynamic resting hand splint. SaeboStretch helps neurologically impaired clients maintain or improve motion while minimizing joint damage and pain. Saebo’s energy-storing technology allows individuals suffering from spasticity to stretch comfortably and safely resulting in increased motivation and compliance.
The SaeboStretch overcomes clinical concerns that can result from traditional hard static splints including joint damage, hypermobility, and contractures. This novel splint uses a revolutionary stretch technology, which allows the fingers to move through flexion caused by associated reactions and increased tone. Following relaxation, the fingers gradually return to the desired resting position.
The SaeboStretch includes three interchangeable dynamic hand pieces that can accommodate various levels of spasticity.

Contracture. What you need to know.
A contracture is a loss of motion over time due to abnormal shortening of the soft tissue structures spanning one or more joints. These include skin, ligaments, tendon, muscles and joint capsules. Loss of motion in any of the structures restricts joint mobility leading to pain, stiffness and eventually contracture.
Indications For Using A Dynamic Hand splint
- Typically, clients who have suffered a neurological injury, such as a stroke, develop increased tightness in the hand, known as contractures. If the hand is not maintained in an optimal position, the muscles can shorten over time, leading to contractures. Contractures can become painful and further limit the ability to regain hand function during recovery.
- The SaeboStretch is designed for individuals who have experienced a neurological injury such as a stroke, head injury, or spinal cord injury.
- In order to qualify for the SaeboStretch, your client must exhibit low or moderate stiffness and be able to open their hand completely flat (with their wrist at neutral) with assistance.
Contraindications
Clients that may not be appropriate for the SaeboStretch typically exhibit one or more of the following:
- Severe joint deformities of the hand.
- Severe tightness in the hand and wrist.
- Severe swelling in the hand or wrist.
- Open wounds or compromised skin integrity.

How to measure
Measure across the proximal phalanges of digits 2-5 just proximal to the PIP joints. Please make sure the fingers are in the adducted position. Do not wrap the tape down the lateral or medial side of the hand. Consider the length of the fingers when deciding between 2 different sizes. (i.e., shorter fingers = smaller size)
Watch the video below on how to properly measure your hand for the SaeboStretch dynamic hand splint.
Size | Palm Width (Inches) – Just Below Level of Knuckles |
Small | 2¼” – 2¾” |
Medium | 2¾” – 3¼” |
Large | 3¼” – 4” |
Measurement: Watch the video, Measure your Palm width (digits 2-5) below the level of your knuckles as per the picture. If you are still undecided about the size, assess your finger length. Longer fingers? Consider a larger size. |
