DS has just turned 12 months, since birth he has always held his right arm stiff and rigid with his fist closed and thumb tucked in.
His left hand is ok however he doesnt have excellent control but does try and is managing ok. He can lift his right arm up and clap together however when he is given an object always uses his left and if forced to use his right can grip but then lets go.
GP referred him to an orthopaedic who said he appears to have mild spasticity and mild upper limb paresis of upper right arm, he has now referred DS to community paediatriction (currently waiting for appointment .
Does anyone have any experience of this, if so please can you tell me as much as you know about it? Does it go with age or does something have to be done about it?
DS doesnt seem to be making much progress with it and we are getting a little worried.
Thanks
