INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Protect your knuckles, loose ligaments, joints, and the bones in your hands with a wrap. Hand wraps are single strips of semi-elastic cloth with a thumb loop on one end and a piece of velcro on the other end. They come in a variety of colors, widths, lengths, and styles. You will need one wrap for each hand. Roll up your hand wrap so that the thumb loop is on the end. Beginning with the back of your hand, as opposed to the palm of your hand, prevents the wrap from loosening up when you make a fist. Wrap your wrist three times, keeping the wrap below the thumb loop. Position the wrap above the thumb loop and wrap the palm of your hand three times. Position the hand wrap diagonally along the palm of your hand--from the base of your pinky to the base of your thumb. Bring the wrap around the base of your thumb and between your pinky and ringer fingers. Pull the wrap between your pointer finger and thumb, positioning the wrap diagonally across the back of your hand. The wrap should form a "X" on the back of your hand. Move the wrap back to the base of your thumb. Form a second "X" by pulling the wrap between your middle and ring fingers in the same manner. Form a third "X" by pulling the wrap between your middle and index finger in the same manner. End this process with the wrap positioned at the base of your thumb. This separates the fingers. Wrap your thumb once. Pull the wrap across the back of your hand and around your wrist to the base of your thumb. Pull the wrap halfway around the thumb. Instead of going around the thumb, pull the wrap across the palm of your hand at the base of your fingers. The hand wrap WILL change directions. This locks the thumb in place and secures the hand wrap. Wrap the knuckles. Pull the hand wrap around your knuckles three times. If you have extra length on your hand wrap, you may either wrap the knuckles additional times or make "Xs" around the back of your hand. Make sure the wrap doesn't become too thick--you still need to put your gloves on! Finish wrapping your hands at your wrist and secure the velcro. This provides additional wrist support.

SUMMARY: Roll-up your hand wraps. Wrap your wrist and palm.Insert your thumb into the loop so that the wrap lays over the back of your hand. Wrap your fingers. Lock your thumb. Secure the velcro.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Like garlic, you can use onions to help remove warts naturally. Take 1/8th of a medium sized onion and crush it. Place the onion directly on to the wart and cover with a bandage or, if you prefer, a piece of duct tape. Repeat, applying fresh onion every day, covering the wart with a fresh covering. As with the garlic method, use a disposable emery board to file away the excess skin of the wart between applications. Vinegar is an acid, diluted acetic acid, and is thought to break down cell membranes. Then the acidic environment kills the virus. Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply to the wart. Attach the cotton ball to the wart using duct tape. You can leave it on for 2 hours up to 2 days. Repeat as necessary. Between applications, use a disposable emery board to file away the skin. Dandelion sap contains a number of ingredients that help with warts, including anti-viral substances. These substances likely kill off the virus-infected cells. Pick a dandelion or two off your lawn. Break the stem and squeeze the dandelion sap onto the wart. Cover the wart with a bandage or duct tape. Leave it on for 24 hours. Repeat as necessary. Use a disposable emery board to file away the wart between treatments. Banana peels contain a number of substances, including various enzymes that may break down the cell membrane. Place the banana peel with the inner part of the peel on the wart. Cover the peel with a bandage or duct tape and leave it on overnight. Repeat as necessary. In addition, banana peels contain carotenoids, which are the substances from which Vitamin A can be synthesized. Vitamin A has anti-viral effects. Between applications, use a disposable emery board to file away the wart. Basil has a number of anti-viral substances and that is believed to help basil kill off the wart virus. Cut a fresh basil leaf and ball it up. Place it over the wart. Cover the basil with a bandage or duct tape and leave it on for 24 hours. Repeat as necessary. Between applications, use a disposable emery board to file away the skin.

SUMMARY: Use onions. Soak the wart in vinegar. Use a dandelion. Apply banana peel. Try fresh basil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Babies with low muscle tone are usually described as floppy or feeling like a "rag doll" when held. This condition is known as hypotonia. Infants usually have flexed elbows and knees, whereas those with low muscle tone have loosely extended joints. While infants with normal tone can be lifted and held from under the armpits, babies with hypotonia typically slip from their parents' hands because their arms rise without resistance. Hypotonia results in weaker stomach muscles. Therefore, the stomach may extend outward more than usual. Poor muscle control of the head (head rolling to the side or forward and backward) is also a symptom. Children affected by Down Syndrome often grow slower than other children, and are therefore shorter in stature. Newborns with Down Syndrome are usually small, and a person with Down Syndrome will most likely remain short through adulthood. A study conducted in Sweden shows that the mean birth length is 48 centimeter (18.9in) for both males and females with Down Syndrome. In comparison, the average length for those without the disability is 51.5 cm. Also look for excess fat or skin surrounding the neck. In addition, neck instability tends to be a common issue. While neck dislocation is uncommon, it is more likely to occur in people with Down Syndrome than those without the disability. Caretakers should be aware of a lump or pain behind the ear, a stiff neck that doesn't heal quickly, or changes in the way a person walks (appearing unsteady on their feet). This includes legs, arms, fingers, and toes. Those with Down Syndrome often have shorter arms and legs, a shorter torso, and higher knees than those without it. People with Down Syndrome often have webbed toes, which is distinguished by the fusing together of the second and third toe. There may also be a wide space between the big toe and second toe, and a deep crease on the sole of the foot where this space is. The fifth finger (pinky) can sometimes only have 1 flexion furrow, or place where the finger bends. Hyperflexibility is also a symptom. This is identifiable by joints that seem to easily extend beyond the normal range of motion. A child with Down Syndrome may easily "do the splits," and may be at risk of falling over as a result. Having one singular crease across the palm of the hand, and a pinky finger that curves towards the thumb are additional characteristics.

SUMMARY:
Look for low muscle tone. Look for shortened height. Look for a short and wide neck. Look for short and stocky appendages.
