Success Stories

Tyler

Tyler came to NovaCare Rehabilitation with a long-standing ring finger extensor lag after a car accident. Initially seeking hand therapy for a custom orthosis, Tyler was determined to adapt his hand position for typing on a computer. Between Tyler's dedication and the expert guidance of Occupational Therapist Elaine Bauer, his lag was corrected. He no longer relies on adaptive techniques in his daily life, and his finger is straight as an arrow. Tyler, we're thrilled to have been part of your journey to recovery and independence. Thank you for trusting us with your care.
