Colin's Story
Cerebral Palsy / Hemispherectomy
“Within the first five minutes of having the garment on, Colin voluntarily raised his left arm, getting his elbow well above shoulder level.”
— Colin
Colin is a 17-month-old who underwent hemispherectomy to control severe seizures. His left side extremities were hemiplegic, weak, and had low functional abilities.
AxioBionics fitted Colin with both an Upper Extremity BioSleeve (for atrophy, spasms, relaxation, and range of motion in his arm) and a Lower Extremity BioSleeve (for foot drop and range of motion in his leg).
Within the first five minutes of having the garment on, Colin voluntarily raised his left arm — not just his hand — getting his elbow well above shoulder level.
"I don't remember ever seeing that before. Looks like this is going to be a great therapy tool!" noted the clinical team.
