Colleagues,
Wanted to see if anyone in the group has experience or has created an
orthosis for a patient with central cord syndrome that has absent
motor function of the biceps and triceps both. Patient does have full
strength of forearm, wrist and hand though. So first would there be a
brace to help replace biceps and triceps function or second have you
used a good option for this type of patient to have a good shoulder
stabilization brace to prevent subluxations at the shoulder as the
arms tend to hang at her sides.
Let me know and thanks in advance,
