Shoulder orthosis for scapular stabilization?

Shoulder orthosis for scapular stabilization?

Daniel Blocka

5/15/2013

Dear Colleagues,

We are looking for any suggestions out there for an orthotic solution(s) or related for a female patient that is 14 years old that has FacioScapuloHumeral Dystrophy. She has very weak upper girdle muscles and winging of both scapulae. The physician we work with at our Children's Treatment Centre, has asked us if there is anything we could do from our side to help stabilize her scapulae.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or guidance anyone can give us.

Regards, Dan
