Khoa - Clasp Thumb (DSCN5646)

Splinting and understanding proper positioning are important in prevention of many deformities whether from burns or congenital problems. A splint was made for Khoa (9-month boy)who was born with clasp thumb (weak muscle). The splint will keep his thumb extended out until hopefully over time, he will be able to do it himself. His mother is taught about the condition and care for her child with splinting, exercises and play.
