Electric splints are a very special piece of adaptive equipment. The OT is required to work with you and the splints until they are sure that you know what to do and that they are right for you. Its a co operative effort on both parts. But the risks falls on the OT who is working with your Rehab Doctor to achieve certain goals with you. They can and will be held responsible by the Rehab Doctor. Your refusal, for any reason, to dismiss the OT's sessions, places the OT at risks.
On a side note,not to confuse the issue.... but if you want to purchase a Corvette, you can purchase one off the showroom floor. However, if you wish to purchase a High Performance Corvette, GM requires that you drive to Bowling Green Kentucky and be tested and road tested before the High Performance Vehicle can be turned over to them. In other words, refusal to take the inhouse test and road test... and no racy car. Best Wishes In a message dated 5/28/2009 3:47:39 P.M.

In July I got sick and was in & out of hospital after that. There were a few times I had to call in and not attend therapies. When I was there I was working with an OT to use electric handsplints that would open my fingers up more and eventually I would be able to use my hands more since there pretty much closed. Well the OT suggested I get these splints for my home. Well I quit going to therapy because I could not commit to it once I was better because I had to come back to work fulltime. He lent me the equipment for my home until I could find out if a agency could pay for me to have my own. Well the agency approved me to get splints. Now he is stating because I can't committ to attending therapy he would like to hold off on me getting them so basically he won't see me to get the splint fitted with the company. I know how to use them somewhat. The agency who is purchasing them can only keep my case opener a little longer. My caseworker said he had no right to deny me especially after he was the one who requested I get them. She is trying to get ahold of him. These splints aren't cheap and I could never afford them on my own. So what do you'll think I should do? **************We found the real ‘Hotel California’ and the ‘Seinfeld’ diner.
