A career built on the stiff hand
BSc(Hons) OT · Accredited Hand & Upper Extremity Therapist · CMMS Educator.
Robyn Midgley has spent her career on the problem most clinicians find hardest: the stiff, poorly-patterned hand. She is a leading educator of the CMMS technique — Casting Motion to Mobilise Stiffness, developed by Judy Colditz — and has published peer-reviewed work on its application after Dupuytren's fasciectomy, crush and degloving injury. She teaches therapists across the world, in person and through live virtual casting labs, and created CMMSPro.AI to put that mentorship in every therapist's pocket, 24/7.
One problem, approached from every angle
The four stages of CMMS
Drag to spin the ring — four stages of one real patient's recovery, from pre-therapy stiffness to the final movement pattern.
Stiffness & limited range of motion. Baseline motion capture of the hand.
Rehab Journey of the Stiff Hand
Twelve real frames across five stages, from a real CMMS case. Drag the handle or press play to move through the recovery.
Baseline — chronic stiffness and limited range of motion at presentation.
Drag the handle or press play to move through the rehabilitation.
The full course, plus a mentor to apply it
Therapists now have affordable access to the complete CMMS online course — the theory, the science, the technique — and the AI mentor at their side for real cases. The mentor doesn't teach the theory; the course does. Together, you get the knowledge and someone to reason through your next stiff hand with.
