Splinting Lab

 

 

MOT I students have been learning how to create different types of splints in our Occupational Therapy for Adults with Physical Dysfunctions course. We started with simple finger splints and have progressed to the much more difficult wrist cock-up splint and hand based thumb spica splint. Next week we will start on resting hand splint. While it has been stressful and frustrating learning to work with splinting material, it is rewarding to see the end product and to know that we are getting closer and closer to becoming official OT’s!
