Pediatric Emergency Medical Director . St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center. Objectives. Review common pediatric fractures. Review splinting techniques. On a half sheet of paper, write your name at the top and answer the following questions.. What does immobilization mean?. Have you ever had an injury immobilized?. What types of injuries require immobilization?. Chapter 12. Injuries to the Extremities. The extremities consist of—. Bones.. Soft tissue.. Blood vessels.. Nerves.. Signals of an injury. Pain or tenderness.. Swelling.. Discoloration.. Deformity of the limb.. When injuries occur, while generally not life-threatening, they require prompt care. Emergencies are unexpected occurrences that require immediate attention - time is a factor. Mistakes in initial injury management can prolong the length of time required for rehabilitation or cause life-threatening situations to arise. Chapter 29.

The third edition of Introduction to Splinting: A Clinical Reasoning and Problem-Solving Approach helps readers master the basic theory, principles, and techniques of splinting needed for clinical practice. Using a combination textbook/workbook format, it integrates theory and technical knowledge with hands-on learning features that equip readers with essential clinical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skills associated with splinting. This new resource instructs students and clinicians in splint fabrication techniques and related interventions for the upper extremity, and highlights anatomical and biomechanical principles specifically related to splints. It defines the purpose of splints, and offers associated indications and precautions. Intelligently organized and generously illustrated, each chapter includes clinical hints, and a specific section dedicated to splinting for a spectrum of diagnoses and populations. Indexes provide a user-friendly cross-reference that lists splints by name and splints by diagnosis to assist the reader in usage of the manual. Also provides insight into the clinical experience with emphasis on containing cost while maximizing time efficiency.Professional hands-on splinting workshops are going on for all levels of experience--visit cj-education.com to find out if these authors are coming to your area! This user-friendly text provides the basics needed to master the fine detail of splinting. An excellent textbook, Introduction to Splinting includes the basic theory of splinting and its application to the design, fabrication, and evaluation of splints for patient care. This book also covers applied knowledge of pathology, kinesiology, anatomy, and biomechanics. As a combination textbook/workbook, Introduction to Splinting features an abundance of illustrations to show the detail of splinting. It includes quizzes, laboratory exercises, and case studies to help students grasp the basics of effective splinting techniques and skills.2-colour format is used throughout to highlight the textSpiral bound format lends itself to the hands-on approach of the bookHigh quality photos and line drawings appear throughout (twice as many as the first edition) clearly illustrating key concepts and techniques for the readerBridges the gap between theoretical information and practical application of concepts Covering the theory, design, and fabrication of orthotic devices, Introduction to Orthotics: A Clinical Reasoning & Problem-Solving Approach, 4th Edition helps you master the skills you need to choose and fit effective orthoses for patients with hand injuries and functional deficits. It emphasizes upper extremity splinting, with additional coverage of lower extremity orthotics and upper extremity prosthetics, and offers case studies promoting clinical reasoning and problem solving. This edition includes new chapters on orthotics of the shoulder and orthotic systems, plus online videos demonstrating fabrication and fitting techniques. Written by occupational therapy educators Brenda Coppard and Helene Lohman, this textbook/workbook is ideal for students and as a practical resource for occupational therapists and therapy assistants in the clinical setting.Student Resources on Evolve Video clips Learning activities Additional case studies Review questions and answers Self-quiz questions and answers Fabrication procedures from the text Forms from the text Grading sheets from the textHow-To videos on the Evolve companion website let you watch the construction of orthotics again and again to increase your proficiency.Review questions and self-quizzes reinforce your comprehension of the material.Case studies in each chapter show how concepts relate to real-life clinical practice.Self-evaluation forms allow you to analyze your strengths and weaknesses related to new orthotic intervention techniques.Laboratory exercises test your clinical reasoning and technical skills.High-quality photos and line drawings illustrate key concepts and techniques.Combined textbook/workbook format makes it easier to develop fundamental skills in the theory, design, and fabrication of orthoses,Spiral binding lets the book lay flat when opened for convenient use while on the job. NEW! Fabrication processes appear in special boxes to allow for quick reference.NEW! Fabrication processes, forms, and grading sheets are included on the Evolve companion website, allowing you to create a personalized study guide.UPDATED content includes new case studies, references, evidence-based research tables, and more on the \'science\' of orthotic intervention.NEW!
