Typical symptoms of CRPS include swelling, allodynia, hyperalgesia, and skin temperature changes. Although a variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are commonly used in caring for individuals with CRPS, they are frequently ineffective and often associated with side effects and\/or additional risks. Previously, elastomeric orthotic garments have been shown to decrease neuropathic pain, reduce edema, and increase proprioception, but no previous reports have described their use in treating CRPS. Accordingly, this case series describes our experiences using a Lycra-based, custom-fabricated Dynamic Movement Orthosis (DMO) as a novel treatment to reduce the symptoms of CRPS and promote function. Four patients were included in this case series, all of whom had very different causes for their CRPS, including a combat-related gunshot injury resulting in multiple foot fractures with a partial nerve injury, a post-metatarsophalangeal fusion, an L5 radiculopathy, and a case of post-lower leg fasciotomies. These four patients all reported subjective improvement in their pain, function, and exercise tolerance in association with their DMO use. All patients demonstrated reduced use of analgesic medications. The pre- and post-DMO lower extremity functional scale showed clinically significant improvement in the two patients for which it was obtained.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usab418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,10]],"date-time":"2021-10-10T22:14:04Z","timestamp":1633904044000},"page":"e2712-e2718","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The
