In so doing, we provide the foundational knowledge which may be tested in future clinical trials and in splint edifications to enhance the efficiency of splints to improve the quality of life in stroke patients. This review describes the methods used to design dynamic splints, their functionality and the current issues surrounding their application to post-stroke patients with spasticity of upper limbs. Moreover, standardized methods of designing dynamic splints are currently lacking. However, evidence supporting their effectiveness in restoring hand functionality, their long-term and short-term effects is limited. Dynamic splints are among the alternative rehabilitation treatments for reducing spasticity of the hand. Occurrence of spasticity of the hand after a stroke event is recognized as a major cause of functional limitations which reduces the quality of life in patients.
