Hand Splints

I didn't know that Abe's hands and wrists had become tight, so the Occupational Therapist recommended resting hand splints that she made herself. Additionally she ordered some from Benik Corp (www.benik.com). One more thing to be aware of with your children.

AFO's

When Abe was young, I was told to put his AFO's on him only for weight bearing. As he got older he needed them on more to keep his ankles from turning in. Now, he wears them 5 to 6 hours a day.
