Product Reviews:
  Fabulous introduction to UE splinting for students in OT ( baddha_padmasana )
My OT class just got into our splinting (for stroke and TBI rehab) unit, and this is our text. I made my first resting hand splint last Friday, using the detailed instructions from Coppard's book. All I can say is, "wow."

This was truly a great resource. Not only does Coppard explain the theories behind splinting, but she also gives detailed instructions for creating patterns and splints themselves. Everything is top-notch for a student who is worrying his or her hair grey over positioning and pressure-distribution.

The book also includes forms for assessing your own splints, covering all the necessary elements and common mistakes made by beginning splint-makers. There are short quizes at the end of each chapter, which are useful, and loads of good pictures.

As a student, I highly recommend this guide.
