Night splint

This is a night splint to help me get a good nights
sleep. Designed to prevent the fingers from curling under and cramping whilst I am asleep.

Made out of white plastic and moulded to the shape of my hand with velcro straps to hold it on.
If the left hand should start doing the same thing and it looks like it will we get one for this hand as well.

It fits nice and snug and once asleep is not noticed.
Just one of the many innovations that are out there to help one retain some control over ones body.
I am noticing that there is difficulty when trying to use both hands in that I am loosing coordination. ie. doing up my shoe laces.
One of the hic-cups that comes with this ailment.
If anyone is having trouble like I was/am with their hands at night then see your local OT.
And I wear a splint on my left leg as well which helps me to walk . photo in one of my first entries.
