Re: Recover elbow movement before shoulder, what does it mean?

<t>Our BPI specialist told us that it can be really difficult to see if arm flexion is done by a recovering biceps. In the case of Femke there was a team of three specialist discussing wheter her arm flexion was done by her biceps. <br/> <br/> Some kids can bend there arm by using muscles from the w...

Re: Myotrac for use in BPI

Kath,

Sorry, but I don't understand you (maybe because I'm not a native English speaker).
