The Joint-Cinch provides a means for regaining passive finger flexion using steady non-elastic force.

- The Joint-Cinch is applied for 1 hour gradually tightening the strap, 2-3 times a day.
- The strap is applied in the clinic and a pen mark is made as a starting point. The patient then marks maximum gain with a pen at home.
- The Joint-Cinch can be applied in various ways, depending on the joint involved and the degree of extension contracture. The basic loop is used to maintain finger position.
Joint Cinch Applications
 |  |
For proximal and distal interphalangeal joint flexion the tip of the finger is in the loop and the loop encircles the finger. | The strap passes in back of the metacarpals and the loop encircles the finger on the distal end of the middle phalanx. This is the most common application. |
