Abstract
Flexible arm splints permit the control of hand-to-mouth contacts without restricting range of motion. In the present study they effectively suppressed the self-injurious finger biting of a child with LeschNyhan disease and a profoundly retarded client's stereotypic finger sucking. They appear to offer an easily applied and much less restrictive alternative to the softtie and tubular arm restraints in common use.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
