Re: This Nice Machine? Please help

<t>I don't know which one you may be refering to, but our O.T. used one of "the newer" ones from Empi after our daughter resumed her e-stem treatments because she could'nt tolerate the older one we have. The parameters can be set a lot lower than the old ones. I'll ask her which one it was and get b...

Re: Surgeries

<t>I think we all hope that "this one will be the last". I'm thinking that right now. Our daughter having had 2 surgeries already, and scheduled for her 3rd this Dec. They have all been "successful" for us so far. With each child being different on top of every injury being so different your questio...

Re: Supination

<t>Our daughter had both the Tendon release & Tendon transfer surgeries done @ 2yrs. She is now 3. She has improved dramatically. I don't consider her to have "lost" supination. When she came out of her cast & splint supination was so extreme for being in that position for so long. Now she c...

Re: choosing best doctor for surgery

<t>Just wanted to say that keep in mind that each and every injury is different. That with or without surgery nothing is guaranteed, no matter how "experienced" the Dr. or hospital.
