A new brace can make all the difference. 💜 Evelyn is treated at Shriners Children's St. Louis for her arthrogryposis. At her latest appointment, she received a brace to address discomfort she's been experiencing in her elbow. It will help to immobilize her arm as it heals!

Born with a rare condition called ulnar dimelia, or mirror hands, Owyn's left hand had four extra fingers and was missing a thumb. 🖐🏻 After an initial assessment, her providers set out a simple goal: to make Owyn's hand as functional as possible. ow.ly/TRgg50VViPL

Ruh-roh! Did someone say Scooby-Doo legs?! 😱🐶 Jaxsyn had a memorable visit with our Pediatric Orthotic and Prosthetic Services (POPS) team. From trying out his TWO new prosthetic legs, to pets with therapy dog, Regis, it was one appointment we'll never forget. #Prosthetics
