*Video summary*

The video demonstrates how to create a static progressive forearm rotation splint, which is used to aid in the supination or pronation of the forearm, particularly after a wrist fracture. It details the construction of the splint, the placement of components for rotation assistance, and the application process to achieve the desired forearm movement.

*Highlights*

[00:00:00] Splint purpose and patient suitability
Used for patients with limited forearm rotation
Ideal for recent wrist fractures lacking full supination
Not suitable for long-term immobility cases
[00:00:30] Splint construction
Consists of two parts: elbow and hand components
Elbow part molded while patient is supine
Hand part designed with a hole for support during rotation
[00:01:30] Device assembly and rotation mechanism
Components attached to allow rubber tube placement
Tube aids in forearm supination or pronation
Tension adjusted by twisting the tube for desired stretch
[00:03:37] Splint application and usage
Worn for 15-20 minutes, three times a day
Stretch intensity increased by additional tube twists
Patient tracks twist count for consistent application
