I can't tell you how many survivors I've met who are smarter than me even after their stroke. seems unfair! In any case, you've given me an idea: write something, and algorithm if you will- or a decision tree- for folks to figure out what the best "dorsi assist" option is best for them... is it an AFO? A strap? Nothing? Thanks for the idea!<br />Peter G Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585356059363005619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-66355341242411266632016-08-05T20:53:21.880-07:002016-08-05T20:53:21.880-07:00I had your book on my Amazon wish list for awhile....I had your book on my Amazon wish list for awhile. Someone just recommended it to our FB group so I looked it up again. I ordered it. Can't wait to get it. I hope there is info about AFO's. I think I know which one will work best for me but the therapists think a little differently. I also wonder why it takes so long for therapists, doctors,etc. to even suggest it. I have had Botox in my left arm twice. No spasticity but no closing yet. Can't wait to see the recommendations or that. I'm using my "downtime" to get ,y Master's degree in psychology. I don't give up easy so your book sounds like it will be great for me. I want to do research and I want to help other people with their recovery<br />Thank you, KrisKristina Hodgdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11891162080274999295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-19100529748786014552016-08-05T20:47:26.104-07:002016-08-05T20:47:26.104-07:00I had your book on my Amazon wish list for awhile....I had your book on my Amazon wish list for awhile.

After that occurred there is almost no way a glove could be put on my hand. Can't tell from the drawing if the glove had complete fingers or not.oc1deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302555382262295577noreply@blogger.com
