What type of patient is best suited for the FirstFlex program?
A. Patients, ages 3 to 20, with Cerebral Palsy induced upper extremity spastic hemiplegia. They will have mild to moderate spasticity in their scapula, shoulder and elbow and moderate to severe spasticity in their wrist and fingers. Patient cognition, motivation and parental support must also be carefully evaluated, as the program for spastic hemiplegia (hemiparesis) requires an extensive time commitment on the part of the patient and caregivers.
