Hand splints for contracture and deformity prophylaxis in neuropaediatrics

Our hands are essential!

They are a means and an end for us to experience, cope with and shape our everyday lives.
But perfect functioning is not a matter of course. Contractures or deformities in particular can severely restrict everyday function.

Course content

Therapeutically, however, we have a means of counteracting contractures and deformities - by positioning the hand appropriately using a hand splint. But what should such a hand splint look like, what benefits can it bring, what do I need to make it myself in a short space of time and what does science have to say about it? The aim of this course is to enable you to make your own findings on patients. You will then be able to make an informed decision about the necessity of a hand splint and justify this decision to parents, doctors and cost bearers, and produce a hand splint yourself.

very good, especially videos. preferably somewhat longer videos
Videos great, examination videos could be cut a little longer and maybe also slow motion

Very satisfied with the course
Super summary of all the most important information regarding splint care and very clearly presented. Very useful for daily practice and helpful for making decisions. In addition, it would be interesting to have some patient examples where the decision or fitting was not easy.

Theoretical knowledge presented in a well-structured way, great course!
As always, a lot of theoretical knowledge, well structured and clearly presented. Lots of background information on the topic of children's hands in neuropaediatrics, also interesting for therapists who already have experience in making hand splints. For beginners in the production of hand splints, further input may be necessary (e.g. pressure points, slipping out of the splint...).

super basis
the course is very structured and simple. the learning content is all very easy to understand. In order to get to grips with the subject in greater depth, further learning content and practical exercises would certainly be required.

Everything was great - clearly structured and informative, I would recommend it to others.

Strong practical relevance
Thank you, I was able to apply what I learned immediately in our clinic. Until now, I didn't know when to decide for or against a hand splint.
