Avery's splint
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2002 8:07 pm
Avery was fitted for her fist splint today. It's a really light-weight wrist splint that goes up her arm to just under her elbow. It fits over the top of her arm and is molded to go under her fingers to hold her wrist in a neutral position. kwim?
She doesn't seem to mind it at all. She has been experiencing major internal rotation from her shoulder and her hand curls up to where her pinky finger was digging in her forearm (that's called something but I can't remember what!). The OT is hoping that the little splint will be sufficient. Hopefully!

p.s. Avery's 8 weeks old. Oh, and GOOD NEWS! She has weak triceps and flickers of biceps!! No deltoids yet but I'm still hoping!
