Working at the Disability Hospital
I took the motorbike to the hospital (getting to be a little pro by now!!) and joined the physios to do some exercises with some of the kids. The mothers were there too distracting the kids whilst we worked on them. I explained to the physios that I have worked a bit in hand physio so they were eager for me to show them what I knew. They did not have any english but they got Nyung to translate "you are very helpful"! I was chuffed with that and I think it is my job now every tue and thurs morni9ng to work on all the kids upper limbs whilst the physios worked on their lower limbs. Most of them suffer from what I can see as Fixed flexion deformity in their hand so have no use at all from it, if only I had some materials I would fabricate an extension splint, it would help them function so much better. I really enjoyed doing it but was more eager to show the parents how to do some gentle passive exercises because in my eyes physio is something you do and not something you get so were not really improving their unction iof they only have an hour a week on exercises.
