Infant Subjects needed for BP research Study
by AMKimbel » Thu Sep 16, 2010 8:28 am
We are a proactive team of specialists at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania examining neural recovery and the development of reach to grasp skill in infants who sustained brachial plexus injury. We hope that this research will lead to advanced treatment strategies that will not only hasten recovery but will ultimately lead to better upper limb function. The lead investigator for this work is Susan Duff, EdD, PT, OTRL, CHT, who has more than twenty years of experience working with this population.
If you are a parent / guardian of an infant 3 months of age or younger or are a cliniician currently servicing this population we would like to speak to you further about our study. For more information please contact us by phone at 215-503-1644 or by email at andrew.kimbel@jefferson.edu or susan.duff@jefferson.edu.

Re: Research study Infant volunteers needed
maia didn't have reach or grasp until she had primary nerve surgery and many, many months passed....
I am so curious to see what her goals in the study are -- what is she trying to find out and how can the children be compared? I'm stumped. Can anyone explain it?
