The Last Post

I have been waiting to get all of the exact measurement data to write this last post, but alas, have misplaced some of the data.

Here is what we gained over one month of HBOT Therapy:

Naomi: Her affected foot grew 1/2" in that month (wowsers!). Her left foot not at all.
She gained several degrees for passive and active dorsal flexion in her right foot.
Naomi's ability to write a coherent/sequential sentence improved.

A month after HBOT, Naomi continues more bilateral use of her right hand, AND, sometimes reaches for objects with her right hand. I believe that she would have been a righty had she not had the stroke.

Other gains that we have listed before, increased active suppination, improved skin on her right arm and hand, and her scar on her right ankle almost diappeared.

I believe that while we didn't get all of the gains we had hoped for (independent finger movement and more use of the wrist), overall the therapy was worth the time and money.

Mom Gains: After having tendonitis in my foot for over a year, I have been painfree for almost 3 months now. I am still amazed.

We would definitely recommend HBOT to other people with stroke and brain injuries.

Good-night and Good Bye!
