My OT class just got into our splinting (for stroke and TBI rehab) unit, and this is our text. I made my first resting hand splint last Friday, using the detailed instructions from Coppard's book. All I can say is, "wow."

This was truly a great resource. Not only does Coppard explain the theories behind splinting, but she also gives detailed instructions for creating patterns and splints themselves. Everything is top-notch for a student who is worrying his or her hair grey over positioning and pressure-distribution.

The book also includes forms for assessing your own splints, covering all the necessary elements and common mistakes made by beginning splint-makers. There are short quizes at the end of each chapter, which are useful, and loads of good pictures.

As a student, I highly recommend this guide.

This is the most helpful book I've ever read. It is an easy read and has great pictures in it. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is beginning to learn splinting!

The book came with the cd just like I needed and was in perfect shape. I'm very happy about it. Kind of funny to see my professors on the cover.

The book arrived sooner than expected and in stellar condition. Very pleased with the service and most especially the speed!
