positioning

Post by admin »

I am an occupational therapist who is looking for suggestions for positioning for a child who actually has arthrogryposis but presents similar to a bilateral Erb's. She has no elbow flexion and therefore can't participate in many school tasks-she's in preschool. if anyone has used any type of splint or device-please let me know-even if it's something i could make.

If you go to Injurednewborn.com you will find information on splints.
I found the link on splints..

Also if you post this question on the General Board some of the parents may be able to help you.
