Infant Subjects needed for BP research Study
We are a proactive team of specialists at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania examining neural recovery and the development of reach to grasp skill in infants who sustained brachial plexus injury. We hope that this research will lead to advanced treatment strategies that will not only hasten recovery but will ultimately lead to better upper limb function. The lead investigator for this work is Susan Duff, EdD, PT, OTRL, CHT, who has more than twenty years of experience working with this population.
