My son went thru the same stiffness if he didn't keep moving his arm. Also he had a hard time getting full range of motion while wearing the brace. Starting at five weeks the therapist would have Andrew remove his brace and just let his arm hang for a while. He also had him lay his arm on the end of the sofa with his forarm hanging over the end, wrist up for a couple minutes. This let gravity stretch the muscles and tendon without much presure. Then he would put the brace back on. After the brace comes off for good the range of motion really got better just from normal use. Andrew said his arm now feels just like the other only weaker.

Hope all goes well for your son.
