Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi Helen, Glad to hear that the OT was soo helpful and no real need for PT.In case you didn't know OT basicaly does from the waist up and PT does the waist down.Think of it as PT being gross motor skills and OT being fine. never has had wrist splints but Josh has. has a boot to keep his lft ankle pointing in the right direction. I hope things settle down and Nick is a quick responder to MTX. Hugs Becki and 5 systemic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi Helen, No does not wear the boot anymore except to play with it.It was for when his ankle was so twisted and after his ankle injection, it imobilized it.He could even participate in gym with his boot or his hard cast with the shoe.He always called it his robot foot.
