Evidence-based Recommendation: Surgery
According to the research, Carrie would benefit from surgery for functional use of her hands for school. My suggestion would be to talk to a pediatric hand surgeon about options available.
Alternative Recommendation: Custom-sized Benik W-711 Forearm Radial Nerve Splint
In this paragraph I will discuss the splint design chosen for Carrie, material and clinical reasoning. First, the design for a functional hand splint is a dynamic low-profile hand splint design with wrist support and MCP extension. This will allow for the hand to open for the daily activities at school. The dorsal design allows for more sensory feedback for the patient and improved grip. Next, the material chosen is ventilated neoprene

Lexi was in a tragic boating accident that, unfortunately, resulted in the loss of her lower left leg. Countless amputees have given up on trying to become stronger and try to have a normal life again, but, however, Lexi decided she was not going to be one of them. It was extremely hard for her in the beginning because walking with prosthetics is a lot harder than walking regularly. Lexi had to work twice as hard to be able to get used to the prosthetics and try to live on with it to the best of her abilities. She kept working every day, going through physical therapy and other methods to be able to walk better with prosthetics. Although her life would never be the same again and would never be normal, Lexi made it her goal to try and get it to be as close to normal as possible. She was a very athletic girl before the accident and wants to go back to the sports she loves by training extra hard to make it to the Paralympics. Lexi also wants to become a physical therapist to help other amputees with their struggles. She looks at her leg with pride, knowing that she is living her life to the fullest and not letting the accident bring her spirit down. She will keep putting in a lot of effort, thanks to modern science that has made and improved prosthetics that will forever help her. Lexi is not going to let this get in her way of achieving her dream, which proves her grit and

Another way her education was stunted is not due to anyone persons prevention but by her own personality and physical appearance. Her lack of people skills affected her romantic relationships with the men she would eventually encounter. She never truly and honestly learned how to love and be loved. This ignorance comes back to harm Carrie and eventually completely reroute her life.

My sixteen year old niece Kyla was in a serious car accident several years ago and has overcome many struggles on her road to recovery. Several days after the accident, Kyla awoke in the hospital to discover that she had severe facial fractures, a punctured lung and a broken back; she was paralyzed from the waist down. Her first struggle was the physical healing of her injuries. The pain from both her initial injuries as well as the multiple surgeries required to repair what doctors could, was at times unbearable, but she fought through it. Then came the emotional struggles; Why did this happen to her? What about her dream of playing basketball? Who would want to marry her? Although her questions were many, she was able to find a way to accept
Injuries like the one she experienced are incredibly rare. In the United States alone, it is estimated that at least two million people are missing one or more limbs, and about 185,000 amputations occur annually. Fifty-four percent of the population receive amputations because of vascular diseases like diabetes. Forty-five percent get amputations because of trauma. Less than two percent get amputations due to cancer (“Limb Loss”). People are 15,000 times more likely to die in a car accident than get bitten by a shark. People are thirty times more likely to die from getting struck by lightning. Losing a limb would make everyday tasks very difficult to accomplish. It would be hard to get dressed, eat, or even tie shoes
She may one day need physical therapy for this but as of right now she participates in activities such as swimming and using the monkey bars on a play set. She is also always made to carry her bags, and once or twice a week she and her father have fake push up competitions. As a result of her weaker upper trunk she may one day have trouble in fine motor skills, such as forming her letters, but so far she has developed normally.
