MorfBoard

This awesome tool has so much potential for the weakest of our patients to the strongest of our clients.  I love how it would tap into the creativity of the therapist and provide a tool that patients don’t expect.  My patients love to have new challenges and while I wouldn’t send them down the hall on the skate board, I sure could use it for range of motion in more interesting ways.

When I was in physical therapy school we spent time learning how to make wrist splints and other items that are usually made by occupational therapists.  The materials were heated and shaped while malleable into forms needed to promote improved function.  This Kickstarter product reminds me of this and can be used by anyone in expression of creative genius or in repair of broken items.  I see this being used in home health care practice in situations when invention is needed to address a specific need.  People with arthritis have difficulty gripping small items. This can be used to build up keys, knobs that need to be larger, and lamp switches that are too small.  I like the bright colors as this will make it easier to see for people with difficulties with vision.

There are people in this world who just attack life in such an amazing way. As a Physical Therapist I am especially impressed with people who face their physical challenges with courage, determination – a willingness to do whatever is asked of them because they see an end that even I can’t visualize. This is an amazing man. Please watch his video.
