Reviews
A great summary of all the key information regarding orthodontic treatment, presented in a very clear and concise manner. Very useful for daily practice and helpful for making decisions. It would also be interesting to see some patient examples where the decision or adjustment wasn’t quite so straightforward.
As always, a wealth of theoretical knowledge presented in a well-structured and clear manner. There is a lot of background information on the topic of children’s hands in neuropediatrics, which is also interesting for therapists who already have experience in making hand splints. For those new to making hand splints, additional guidance might be necessary (e.g., pressure points, the splint slipping off...).
The course is very structured and straightforward. All of the course content is very easy to understand. To explore the topic in greater depth, additional course content and practical exercises would certainly be needed.
Thank you; I was able to apply what I learned right away at our clinic. Until now, I wasn't sure when to decide in favor of—or, at times, against—using a hand splint.
The videos are great, but the examination videos could be a little longer and maybe include some slow-motion footage.
