OTs at Strong are very skilled at custom fabricating and fitting splints that work. If the purpose of a splint is to rest your wrist, be sure that it does not also stop your thumb and fingers from moving normally. Pressure therapy can decrease the debilitating effects of scar. Strong OTs have extensive experience in managing this symptom through their work on the Burn Unit and Hand Therapy practice. Apply sunscreen to any newly scarred areas in summer weather.
New tissues are most vulnerable to sunburn.
Strong OTs participate in multidisciplinary team assessments and assist you in understanding the challenges your child may face and how to help them as they grow. For questions or suggestions concerning the content of these pages, contact the URMC Webmaster .
