You made it so much easier to understand the info and I will recommend to all my classmates and future students I have ! You're amazing and thank you!

I found out I passed the NBCOT today!! I can’t thank you enough for these videos. They helped me so much! Thank you OT MIRI!!

[@MiriLee]

Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you and thankful that you remembered me and came back here to share this wonderful news with me! How exciting!!!! This is just the beginning of all good things that are in store for you and I wish you only the best as we head into 2021. Sending you so much love!

I’m currently studying and I feel so overwhelmed!

[@beinghabiba.a7406]

I am watching your spinal cord videos and I can’t stop admiring how knowledgeable you are! Just love you! Thank you for everything you do for us!

[@MiriLee]

aww, thank you for your encouraging feedback and support. It means a lot to me!

[@BonnyHibbard]

The trick i use for remembering the nerve distribution in the fingers is that the pinky and ring finger, when held up, make a "u" (ulnar)... and the middle finger, index finger, and thumb, when pointing down, make an "M" (median)... Thank you for all the work you put into these! I know this video is a year and a half old, but it's still helping folks! What a legacy you are leaving :)

[@MiriLee]

Hi Bonny! I'm happy to know you're enjoying these videos and it really gives me so much joy to know that our OT community is benefitting from these resources. I hope you continue to feel supported throughout your OT journey, even beyond the NBCOT exam. May these next 4 weeks leading up to your exam bring you peace and an unwavering sense of confidence!

[@meandlevlogs]

Thank you so much, MIRI! This video may seem like "common knowledge" at first glance, but you go in depth with your mnemonics and treatments (splints), etc. This was so helpful!! And this is coming from someone who is just about to finish my FW2B in a hands rotation and I thought "Oh I know all this already."

[@MiriLee]

You're very welcome! I'm so happy to know you're finding these videos helpful. I hope you continue to feel supported as you continue along your OT journey!

[@CarmineCroons]

I'm sure you're told this a million times, but you're content is so helpful. I'm on the last semester in an OTA program at Eastwick College and go to full clinicals in April. You've helped me a lot. Thanks Miri, and God bless.

[@MiriLee]

Aww, thank you for not clicking away, but taking a moment to connect with me to express your thanks, love and support. It means a lot to me, truly. I read each and every comment and am moved by them all. I thank God that He has allowed me utilize this platform to offer encouragement to the community I love so much and when I read comments like yours, my spirit feels renewed. God bless you a thousandfold and more.

[@tanyagordon6650]

You are so educated in nerve injuries! It's great that you have created videos to help others learn how to identify these injuries. I actually have a possible combination of these injuries in my non-dominant hand. They are no longer offering me OT (it's been a year since my injury) and say that a surgery may not be helpful. How do I live with these injuries? Do you know of any channels or websites to help nerve injury individuals? My hand is getting very stiff and I would like lifelong tips with dealing with this.

[@amichaeljacksonfan12]

Thank you so much for helping me along this journey! I watched most of your videos to prep for the exam and found them super helpful! I found out today that i passed!!

[@MiriLee]

Allie!! Congratulations!! I can't tell you how happy it makes me to receive this news! I remember your first post when you wrote, "this is going to be me soon" in my 'the Moment you Claim your Title' video two weeks ago. I sensed so much energy, optimism and confidence in that post and had no doubt you would pass!! So to hear this news today just makes me wanna shout, dance and twirl around the room!!! Congratulations, Allie, and thank YOU for being a part of this community and sharing your journey with me. I hope you stay connected and I'll look forward to meeting you someday at the AOTA conference! ❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheDolphinlover1234]

Taking my exam for the second time December 5th. I’m watching all your videos because I’m a visual learner. I was 3 points away from passing last time so I have no doubt I will pass this next try with your help!

[@MiriLee]

I'm sorry to hear you did not pass on your first attempt. But I can sense confidence and courage in your words so I remain hopeful and optimistic! I'm also happy to know you're giving yourself enough time to prepare. The last one you took was in August, yes? You will do great and I'm confident you will pass! Take good care.

Incase this helps anyone: I remember the (U)lnar side because in anatomical position, it is the side closest to YO(U). Thank you for always including mnemonics, it really makes all the difference.

Hi Megan! Thank you for studying with me and sharing your tips with our community!

I wish you nothing but the best as you begin this new, exciting chapter of your life. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the Career Guide on my OT Miri website. It contains a sample resume, cover letter, interview FAQs and answers, and much more! Hopefully, it'll give you a strong foundation and starting point as you begin your transition. Take good care and I hope you'll continue to stay connected.

[@nagellaal-balushi1937]

OT miri your videos are very helpful and has given me a better perspective on various topics. My exam is in a week and I was wondering if you can give me some helpful tips to remember reflexes and developmental milestone. Thank you very much!

[@MiriLee]

I'm glad to these videos have been helpful, Nagella! I have been meaning to do videos on the pediatric milestones and hope to get to them soon! In the meantime, my suggestion would be to really know the sequences first and then learn the ages. For me, the content just made better sense when I was able to conceptualize the order in which these developments occur instead of just memorizing the ages. I don't think there is really an easy or fast way to learn this area, as there is a lot to cover, but even this can be mastered with conceptualization, application and visualization!

[@laurencecorpus7367]

Hi Miri. I've been following you for a month now and watched all of your videos over and over again. Ty so much for sharing and for being an inspiration. I was wondering if you can make a video about SCI levels and some appropriate interventions. I would really appreciate it

[@MiriLee]

Hi Laurence! Thank you for leaving a comment and sharing your feedback. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying these videos and finding inspiration there. I've received numerous requests for SCI, but I just haven't had a chance to get to it yet. But it's high on my priority list, so stay tuned!

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

Hello, I need to see a specialist for my issues with my right hand, fingers, elbow and arm. Who would be the best specialist? I’m sure I have severe nerve problems. My family doctor says it’s tennis elbow elbow, but I don’t think so. My arm does not swing anymore when I walk. It’s like dead weight. My bicep is smaller than the left. I cannot type or text with right hand..constant tingling and ache..

[@MiriLee]

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. To ensure you receive proper care and diagnosis, I would like to encourage you to seek your personal physician with any specific medical questions you may have or to inquire about a referral to a specialist. These videos are intended for general informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Miri

When I fell - I also had a shoulder dislocation and fracture of humorous. It's all healing so well. In last few days I'm using arm a bit and happy w how much healed. Injury was 12 days now. But the ulnar nerve. I have all symptoms - the two fingers, lower palm, ny forearm all numb. Bill for ER $4800.00. No insurance but pay bills and will pay it too :). But can't afford tons of docs about ulnar. So I been reading. I'm happy to see it often resolves itself. Any advice please!! Thanks.

Hi Alex, I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. I wish I could provide you more support, but these videos are intended for general informational purposes only and I cannot offer you any specific medical advice. I'd like to encourage you to seek your personal physician or therapist with any specific medical questions or concerns you have as you go through the recovery process.

Hi Katia, I do not have any videos specifically covering intervention approaches for decreased hand sensation. But, this may be a good topic for my next Hands & UE video so I'll be putting it on the list!

[@miseducationnation]

How do you differentiate the high and low median nerve injuries (ape hand and hand of benediction) from low level ulnar nerve injury (claw hand). Looking at photos, I am beginning to get confused...they look the same. Can you clarify how they are different physically and functionally?

[@joannenoonan6596]

Hello! Can anyone explain why (at 4:42) it's a "MCP flexion block splint"? I thought it would have to block extension...TIA

[@MiriLee]

Hi Joanne, you are correct that the purpose of the MCP flexion block splint is to prevent hyperextension and provide stabilization of MCP joint. I believe the term "block splint" is referring to a splint that blocks or restricts motion at a given joint while allowing motion at other joints. In the case of the MCP flexion block splint, the splint is "blocking" or restricting motion of the ring and small finger MCP joints by placing them in flexion, while allowing active motion at the adjacent PIP and DIP joints. I honestly don't know how one decides to come up with these terms and names for various splints, but I hope that helps clarify!
