mercedsunstar.com :: Giving workers a hand: Hand therapists help injured regain crucial abilities
Hurray Claire Osbourne. You are so on target, regarding the need for continued home therapy. Claire, and Debbie Prince, Director of Rehab at Anberry Rehabilitation Hospital in Atwater, are giving the injured and disabled new hope and good rehabilitative medicine every working minute. They often go unheralded for the remarkable and often miraculous work they do.
I am witness to the seeming miracles dedicated Hand Therapist and Occupational Therapist perform. I am a survivor of Proximal Row Carpectomy. While going through rehab, I invented a tool that has already helped hundreds of Hand, wrist, and upper extremity patients speed and maximize their rehabilitation. My friends at South Jersey Precision Tool and Die Company helped me create "The-Get-A-Grip Hand Rehab Device", seen at http://www.rehabdevices.com/ this little wonder has been seen and featured at The Philadelphia Hand Foundations' Meeting, and The AOTA Meeting in St. Louis. It is my hope that my invention will help dedicated therapist like Debbie and Claire give their patients the fullest chance at recovery. "The Get-A-Grip Hand Device" focuses on building Strength and AROM through incremental resistance training. In most cases, dramatic reductions in Edema and Adhesions result in adding this small and portable device to patients rehabilitation plans.
Please visit our web site. Our product is endorsed by many hand surgeons, owned by rehabilitation hospitals and centers, prescribed for in-patient and home use by Veterans' Medical centers.
Debbie and Claire, keep up the great work. There are many Mr. Fraziers out there for you to heal both physically and emotionally. I hope to see and meet many of you at The Phoenix ASHT Meeting, in October, and The Albuquerque NMOTA Meeting Sept 6-8.
