Pat, Wood crafts work well with this population. Especially the sanding aspect, so don't buy products that have an already finished wood (i.e. like commercial bird houses). The sanding, if performed in the right plane, (try to maintain movements within the horizontal plane and limit frontal/sagital plane movements - until the patient is ready of course) promotes rotator cuff strengthening and ROM.

She is becoming bored with therapy and I am trying to come up with some activities that will be more fun for her to increase shoulder range of motion. Does anyone have any suggestions? *****************************��********************************** To remove yourself from the OTnow mail list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message's *body*, put the following text: unsubscribe OTlist - List messages are archived at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] *****************************��*********************************** *****************************��********************************** To remove yourself from the OTnow mail list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message's *body*, put the following text: unsubscribe OTlist - List messages are archived at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] *****************************��***********************************
