Myoelectric Elbow-Wrist-Hand Orthosis for an Adolescent with Hemiparesis: A Case Report

Discussion This case report presents insights on why the patient was not as proficient and interested in using the orthosis at home and school. Recommendations to address these issues include peer modeling, community outings, early intervention, and the use of family-centered approaches. Future studies are also suggested to further understand MEWHO use and the considerations for successful orthotic management in this group of patients.
