| dynamic splint | A splint utilizing springs or elastic bands that aids in movements initiated by the patient by controlling the plane and range of motion. Synonym: active splint, functional splint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dynamic viscosity | The internal or molecular frictional resistance of a fluid by Newton's law of viscosity as the ratio of the applied force per unit area to the relative velocity of adjacent fluid layers (produced by the force). (05 Mar 2000) |
| instrascene dynamic range | <microscopy> The greatest ratio of highlight to shadow brightness to within a single scene that a video camera (tube) can handle usefully. Contrast with the usable light range of a camera, which is considerably greater than the instrascene dynamic range. See: illumination, Kohler. (05 Aug 1998) |
