Taking my test tomorrow! Thank you for everything you do for the OT students and future clinicians. You are a shining light and a role model for all and I appreciate you !!!!
Aww Brandon, you're so sweet. There's so much I want to give to my patients and our community, but sometimes, I find that a smile is the best (and only) thing I can offer in times of loneliness or darkness. I never want to forget that I'm treating a person, not a diagnosis, and every human being can use a smile every now and then. The human touch is the most powerful thing...
You are AMAZING!!! How do we THANK YOU? You break down the information in a way that's so easy to understand. But beyond that, you've really helped build up my confidence and passion again for occupational therapy. For that, I am eternally grateful. I would love to meet you in person!
awww Sherry!!! You're the best! I would love to meet you in person too. It seems like I've known you for years, yet, we haven't even met. I love our community : ) Also, thank you so much for your warm message on Facebook. Really brightened my day!!
Hi Johanna! I would love to some day soon. Not sure when, but it's on the list of requested videos already so I'm hoping to get to it soon. Thank you for watching~
i found you because I hurt my hand at badminton (after a couple of weeks off) in zone 5. played since i was a kid and never hurt my hand before. thank you, very informative :)
Thank you for putting this information out there in such a digestible way! Whenever I'm feeling discouraged, like I'll never fully grasp a topic, or I feel like I don't know where to begin, I come to your channel and my confidence/knowledge immediately improves. You are an angel!
Thank you for your sweet and thoughtful message, Michelle. I'm so happy to know that you can come here and find encouragement. I hope you'll continue to feel supported as you grow in your knowledge and confidence.
Miri are so amazing!!! I will be starting my LevelI at a hand clinic in Jan and I just wanted to review this info (although I should be studying for finals) cause it’s been like 6 months since my hand class. You make this stuff so easy to understand, unlike my professor. Thank you so so much! Please keep the videos coming! 😊
awww, your message means a lot to me! Thank you for sharing and connecting with me. The best part of making these UA-cam videos is making meaningful connections through this shared journey so I absolutely love hearing back directly from members of our community. Thank you for being here. I hope to bring you many more videos and content for you to enjoy 😌 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's so great to hear, Ashley! Studying CAN be fun and I'm so happy you're here to share your journey with me. Thank you for taking a moment to connect with me on this lovely Sunday afternoon and study with me.
You're welcome! It took me some time to understand the extensor tendon injuries when I was studying for the NBCOT exam. It was a bit of a struggle... So it makes me really happy to be able to share all that I learned so you don't have to struggle through it!
I have a post flexor injury and I’ve had surgery on my predominant hand little finger my finger feels useless and I can’t straighten my finger anymore. It’s making my normally strong hand feel weak. Do you have any suggestions pl😢ease
Do you not have physical therapy? They should have gave you exercises and maybe even putty for that finger. We have the same injury both in our dominant hand and pinky but you should be doing hand exercises multiple times a day so that your finger doesn’t get stiff from the scar tissue.
God you would have been amazing to come across you 6 months ago when I cut my flexor tendon lol it took 12 weeks for it to fully healed and for full full range of motion I like the videos just a little to late
i ruptured 5 extensor tendons on what would be zone 9 (where there are more muscles - upper outer forearm) and kept imobilized for about 1 month, im now 2 weeks without the cast and into PT for about 6 sessions, doing daily. my hand is 24/7 in a plank state, like straight from palm to fingers. and i cant really bend my fingers (only like 10% ROM at best), after that it feels like blocked to go further. same goes for my wrist up or down movement which is even worse. what do you think about my experience? please answer, doctor, i'm so afraid
I cut my pinky finger pretty bad and had to get tendon surgery and even tho your injury sounds a bit worse than mine it was really about patience and doing whatever exercises you gotta do daily. My surgery happened November 15 so it’s been a couple months but I’m still tryna get my full range of motion back in my pinky but my PT said it could take up to a year for my injury to “fully” heal and even then it might not ever be the same.
I was at the same place as you tho where after the surgery I could barely move pinky in anyway. I’m pretty sure that’s because of the scar tissue and that’s what the exercises that were probably given to you are for.
Hi Miri!! Thank you so much for your videos! They truly are great. I was looking for the video that you talk about in the beginning of this video (Flexor Tendon Injuries and Intervention.) However, I can not seem to find it. Can you let me know which section it is in or if you have a link to it? Thank you so much! You are the best!!! :)
Hi Nicole, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying my videos! Thank you for your sweet comment and support~~ Here's a link to the flexor tendon injuries: ua-cam.com/video/PTIYouP59VA/v-deo.html Good luck preparing for the exam, Nicole!
Hi Morgan, there is a UE & Hands playlist on my channel. From there, you can find all the videos I have related to hands and upper extremity injuries. And I believe the one you're looking for specifically is the Flexor Tendon Injury video: ua-cam.com/video/PTIYouP59VA/v-deo.html
Hi Miri! If possible can you make a video that deals with low vision (ot evaluation and treatment). Low vision is becoming more prevalent in the OT hemisphere. ☺️
Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, these videos are intended for general informational purposes only so I'd like to encourage you to seek your personal physician or hand therapist with any specific medical questions or concerns you may have. Wishing you a speedy recovery...
Madam i accidently hit my hand to glass... My Extenxor tendon in Zone 5 was cut...Doctor said for Surgery but i m having Exams...So is it okay to do surgery after 5 weeks of injury ? (Because i heard that tendon will refract and delay surgery is danger ) Plz reply madam

Hi Johanna! I would love to some day soon. Not sure when, but it's on the list of requested videos already so I'm hoping to get to it soon. Thank you for watching~
Thank you Miri!! You're my favorite study resource.
P.S. your skin is GLOWING- I admire it in every video!!!
Yay! Thank you for being my study buddy, Kaley!
I like to remember the Boutonnière deformity by thinking "bottoms up!" or "booty up" or "bout" up (short for Boutonnière) due to the PIP flexion!
Studying can be such a fun and creative process if we allow it to be. Thank you for sharing!
I love your videos they are helping me prepare for the NBCOT and I appreciate your selfless dedication to your viewers!! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I just reviewed hand and UE and this helped SO much for some of the concepts that I didn't quite grasp from just reading.

Thank you for all your dedication its helpful
Is there a video where she talks about flexor tendon zones? I see them in this video but not the explanation. Thanks
Hi Miri I have a flexor tendon injury on the thumb 👍 pls make a video 📹 for precautions and exercises
I have a post flexor injury and I’ve had surgery on my predominant hand little finger my finger feels useless and I can’t straighten my finger anymore. It’s making my normally strong hand feel weak. Do you have any suggestions pl😢ease

God you would have been amazing to come across you 6 months ago when I cut my flexor tendon lol it took 12 weeks for it to fully healed and for full full range of motion I like the videos just a little to late
I'm happy to hear your injury has healed. Thank you for watching!
Do you do consultations?
What about partial laceration of zone 2?
i ruptured 5 extensor tendons on what would be zone 9 (where there are more muscles - upper outer forearm) and kept imobilized for about 1 month, im now 2 weeks without the cast and into PT for about 6 sessions, doing daily.
my hand is 24/7 in a plank state, like straight from palm to fingers. and i cant really bend my fingers (only like 10% ROM at best), after that it feels like blocked to go further. same goes for my wrist up or down movement which is even worse.
what do you think about my experience? please answer, doctor, i'm so afraid
they can "move" with passive movement, like the therapist moving it -hurts-. but it wont actively.
I cut my pinky finger pretty bad and had to get tendon surgery and even tho your injury sounds a bit worse than mine it was really about patience and doing whatever exercises you gotta do daily. My surgery happened November 15 so it’s been a couple months but I’m still tryna get my full range of motion back in my pinky but my PT said it could take up to a year for my injury to “fully” heal and even then it might not ever be the same.
