The very first test went about as good as can be expected, the fit wasn't perfect, but the staff at Sirindhorn Hospital made some changes to the palm support and soon Mr. Jitt was picking things up. As expected he will need more time to train his wrists to the movement. Still, it's almost magical to see this work for the first time on someone we weren't so sure could use this design. Great work from Khun Goong the physical therapist and Khun Whoot, Mana, Boon Mee and the rest of the staff at Sirindhorn. A good first test that will lead us to improving it and inspiring more to help what we are doing. Nice Job!
