    Curled fingers are a sign of midbrain injury?

    I was talking to another person who was watching my movements today and he said my curled/clawed fingers were a sign of a midbrain injury. I know people with athetoid CP have their midbrain damaged but I have never heard of spastics being injured that way. Can spastic CP be caused by midbrain injury? A lot of spastics I know curl their fingers from the muscles being tight in their hands.

    This person also told me about this place: Only registered and activated users can see links., Click Here To Register... Has anybody worked with them?? Are they any good?? I already do a "reprogramming the brain" type of physical therapy based on dance and breathing exercises and it is working great for me. I am seeing lots of improvement already but I thought Institutes could maybe help me expand the work I am already doing.

    Hi!

    I don't know about the midbrain stuff, but I do know Paul from Australia has done the iahp program with Grant. I read the book that Glenn Doman wrote, What to do with your brain-injured child. It was a great read! We have done some things with Caitlin and saw some gains, but then she regressed due to all her shunt malfunctions and seizure issues. Hoping to get the seizure stuff under control so she can get back to forward progress! I think the institute has other books out too.
