This 13 year old girl was diagnosed with impairment of her brain. While at school she became ill and developed quadriplegia and lost all learned abilities. She was referred to OT (Occupational Therapy) for splints for both hands. C-shaped splints were issued for night use and she was trained in simple activities of daily living (ADL’s), i.e. feeding and dressing. She is now showing great improvement and is happy.
The second photo shows a three year old boy with flexed post burn contractures involving all fingers and thumb on his left hand following a fall in the fire when younger.
