I was told by my Doctor's that the reason my finger's are curled up is
because "… the position your finger's are in when your nerves are
severed is how they will stay." I personaly had my fingers wraped
around motor cycle handles when I broke my neck.
How about the rest of you. What position were your hands when you
broke your neck and are they in the same position? Bobbie

In a sense its true, much depends on early ROM, nerve damage and how the
damaged nerve affects the muscle group. C4,5,6 injuries will/can affect, fine
finger movement. I've seen very good movement with some C7's. But as everyone
knows.... no two are alike.

Does anyone know why some Quads fingers are straight and flexible while
others are curled and stiff? Theo From: Joan Anglin

It has never been any kind of option for me as my hands are flat and
not curled up. We do range of motion and work the fingers everyday but
other than getting partial feeling back in the right hand they haven’t
changed at all in 22 years. I too never consider a cure for SCI for
myself as I know that I am too old to be a viable candidate for any
form of treatment which requires trials and cetera. At least this way I
will never have to look for a seat anywhere I go! J Have a great day
everyone. Joan From: donald scott [mailto:rollingl...@yahoo.com]

I agree with bobbie. My hands are closed with thumbs out and on my
left hand (I'm a lefty) my index finger is straighter so I have a
little pinch when I twist my wrist up. With hands closed I can drive,
write, ps2 with handles, rc cars, fish, hold stuff, plus lots more. If
your thinking about a cure for later don't worry they will make your
hands open again. I personally never think about a cure and could
careless at this point.
Take care all, Donald

Mine have been locked closed like a fist since day on in the 1970s
Nobody ever tried to straighten them out ever. It has been advantage to
have them curled up and locked … I'm able to one doors very easily
along with any other tasks. Bobbie

I was wondering what you guys do about your fingers… mine are becoming
stiff and locked up… obviously I want to be able to use my fingers
again someday and was wondering if you guys could give me some
information on how you keep your fingers in good health… right now my
caregivers stretches them twice a day but its only getting worse and
I’m getting worried…
