Hello list,
I need your suggestions on the absolute most durable passive hand available.?
I have a new patient that said he has historically broken the thumb or other fingers off of his hands about every three months.? He walks with a crutch on his affected (BE) side, and weighs about 250 lbs.? Between the force applied to the thumb with the use of his crutch, and pushing with the finger tips to help get from sit to stand, his hands just don't stand a chance.? Your suggestions are appreciated?
