An elastic tension element (spring) supports mobilization. A permanent tension is applied, which can be reduced or increased with the aid of a toggle or forceps. If the spring tension is adjusted as needed, the orthosis becomes a tolerable aid that can be used inconspicuously in everyday life, in contrast to the bulky, often high superstructures of a static-progressive variant.
In contrast to an elastic tension element (spring), a rigid tension (threaded rod) is used for quenching. The finely adjustable tension is suitable, for example, for old, stubborn contractures by adjusting and fixing the maximum adjustable joint end position. In contrast, a lightly adjusted tension can be used to gently stretch the connective tissue over a long period of time. The advantage of static-progressive quenching is the fine adjustability of the finger orthosis, which can also be used to treat contractures that are difficult to treat.

improve their mobility and quality of life.
The traction force that may be applied
to the finger or a joint depends on
several factors:
· Type of injury, such as tendon repair, contractures, arthrolysis, finger prostheses
· Type and structure of the tissue
· Skin tolerance (circulation)
· Sensitivity
· Size of the pressure application area
· Pain perception
Selection of the appropriate traction force is the sole responsibility of the treating therapists who design this individual orthosis.
When applied over an extended period to the contracted tissue, the following traction forces have produced good results:
| Wrist | 300 – 750 g |
| Metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) | 150 – 350 g |
| Proximal interphalangeal joints (PIP) | 100 – 300 g |
| Distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) | 100 – 250 g |
