RECOMMENDED

STEP 1:

Rotate therapy knob until a gentle, pain-free stretch is felt. Level 2-3 on stretch intensity scale.

NO STRETCH

STEP 2: Hold stretch position for 5 minutes. Before turning knob, re-assess stretch level:

1. If stretch intensity has decreased, rotate knob until you feel a 2-3 level stretch again.

2. If stretch intensity has not changed, leave in same position.

3. If stretch intensity has increased, rotate knob in opposite direction until 2-3 level stretch is felt.

STEP 3: Hold stretch position for another 5 minutes.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for a series of six 5-minute stretches (30-Minute Therapy Session).

IMPORTANT:

If you are initiating JAS therapy early post surgery, you may need to begin with shorter therapy sessions (one to three

5-minute stretches per session), due to post operative symptoms of swelling, pain and sensitivity to passive stretch. If

so, gradually increase to 30-minute sessions over a two week period, as tolerated.

STEP 4: When 30-minute session is complete, turn knob in opposite direction until stretch is relieved, then

remove device. You may feel some joint stiffness following your JAS session. Gently move your joint back

and forth to "cool down" and relieve the stiffness.

IMPORTANT:

You must evaluate stretch sensation after each 5-minute stretch period, before adjusting the Range of Motion (ROM)

on your JAS device. If stretch intensity has not decreased, it is incorrect to turn further into the ROM.

You will not achieve a desired result of permanent tissue stretch.

Aggressive or painful levels of stretch will not be therapeutic, and will yield counterproductive results - increased stiff-

ness, swelling or pain, and little or no gains in joint ROM.

NUMBER OF SESSIONS PER DAY

Three 30-minute sessions, per direction, per day, are suggested for optimal results. Begin with one 30-minute session

per day and add sessions every 3-5 days as tolerated up to 3 sessions per direction per day.

WARNING:

JAS SPS devices are NOT designed to be worn overnight or for prolonged, continuous periods of time.

Joint Active Systems does not recommend or endorse a therapy protocol that includes extended wear times of 4 +

hour sessions as are commonly recommended with dynamic splints or turnbuckle splints. This is due to the known

increased risk of skin irritation and / or breakdown associated with any prolonged splinting regime.

Wait 45-60 minutes between each JAS treatment session.

If you experience a change in swelling or irritation to your underlying condition when using the JAS device, discontinue

use and contact your physician.
