Neither the SaeboFlex or SaeboStretch use e-stim. That is very incorrect - it is a mechanical dynamic hand splint. The "splint" that incorporates e-stim is the Bioness system. It is a very different product although the goals of both systems are similar Rob --- Carmen Aguirre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Today I d/c a patient who really didn't show much progress towards her goals. I previously sent a message as sort of a case study. I used two standardized measures, the Geriatric Depression Rating Scale and the COPM. Unbelievably, her discharge GDRS score showed a substantial increase in depr

I would like to invite all of us working in SNF's to stop using the arc and the pegs for one week and see if other, more real-life activities can be done; ie clean a table using the circular motion the arc would promote, clean a window  instead; place family pictures on the wall of th

All OT's MUST have a continuing ed requirement. No excuses, no leave it up to each state. By not having one people get lazy and don't t

A low vision program could be costly depending on what supplies you have access to. I share a wall with 2 OD's and we share everything!! The clinic has 2 CCTV's, a reader, filters, all sorts of specs and magnifiers, and all the ADL equipment. Mary Warren has 2 kits with devices, which are available
