Angela, I'm a mother from Argentina and I don't quite get what you mean by supinated. I understand the word but I don't know whether you mean touching the mouth with the palm of your hand or being able to supinate at 90 degrees. Will you please let me know?
Thanks,
Patricia

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: My son Franco (now 17) suffers from left OBPI. He has undergone 3 operations already and though his recovery has been quite good, the injury still shows itself.
I have a support group in my country called Paralisis Braquial Obstetrica -PBO Argentina. You can find us in Facebook.
At the moment I´m really working hard to pass a law to guarantee parents are informed of this injury when the babies are born. Unfortunately in my country we are not informed about these injuries. - Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Supination means that the child's hand is palm up all the time they cannot pronate their hand.
I have a pronated hand that means I cannot supinate at all and I cannot get hand to mouth with my palm facing my mouth. Does that help you?
