In this episode of OT Conversations, occupational therapist How discusses the case of Amish, a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with camptodactyly, a condition characterized by bent little fingers that can hinder activities like playing the clarinet and writing. Joined by regular guest Maria, the conversation covers the anatomical and embryological basis of camptodactyly, assessment techniques, and conservative management strategies, including splinting and stretching exercises. The episode also delves into the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, involving GPs, hand consultants, and potentially school coordinators, to ensure comprehensive care and support for pediatric patients.
