In my opinion, the shoulder arc is one of the "dumbest" pieces of OT equipment ever invented. I've heard more people complain about that thing! It's childish looking and for the most part, it's not age appropriate. I could see using it with kids as a game, but to have an adult patient push little plastic rings across a plastic hoop is about as related to occupation as having a person put little plastic pegs in a board! These things must have been "invented" back in the era of contrived activity, because for the most part that's about all they do!
I have a very dear friend who is just going to rehab secondary to a broken hip. I hope that her OT doesn't have a shoulder arc!!!!!!!!!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Orli Weisser-Pike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subj: [OTlist] Shoulder Arc OWP> Can we stop complaining about what others are doing and rather OWP> try and set examples ourselves????
