I work in a Hospital setting as a consultant in Internal Medicine dividing my time between patients and post grad students. These are thoughts and topics that stir me at the present time.
I am a retired occupational therapist who specialized in rehab and hand therapy. The photo you present looks very typical of high quadriplegia, C5 or above. The contractures in the photo are typical of no innervation from C6,7,8,T1. Also, there is considerable atrophy in the forearm and hand.
Please check my blog, http://graceryoung.com re lifestyle modification and other issues for disabilities and chronic conditions.
