I could cry right now. Thank you so much for this channel. There's not much info on this topic and I'm so thankful to find you!! My son, who's 12 now, had a stroke in-utero which affected the left side of his body and his left hand is basically unusable. I'm on the search to find any info I can on teaching him how to be independent. I try to do everything in my life with one hand so that I can learn how to teach him to do it also. Somethings are definitely harder than others and that's why I'm here.

Victoria, I have worked with Form5 Prosthetics (www.form5.org). Aaron, the founder was born with a shortened arm and is a tireless helper for kids and adults with limb differences. Form5 3-D prints prostheses as well as special products like a bike attachment. One of his projects is for Tatum who has weakness due to birth trauma. He is making him a brace to help him hold a hockey stick. I urge you look all over his website and reach out to him to see what he can do to help you.

The terrycloth robe is genius! Thanks for sharing.

This is so helpful, thank you. Do you have tips on washing the outside of the arm?

@onearmuniversity6357

If you can, sit in the shower. Drape a hand towel or washcloth over your leg, the leg on the same side as your arm. Have the washcloth soapy. Lean down and rub your outer arm over the washcloth. It’s not a perfect system, but It’s one way of getting the job done!

How do I wash my one arm that i can use? I can’t reach it with a loofah or stick sponge so far. I have had to get assistance to get that clean everytime

See 2:10-2:36 in the video. I have a nail brush that sticks to the wall with suction cups. You can rub your arm against that. If it is too rough, drape a wash cloth over it. Good luck!

How would you go about putting on a shower cap. I have chin length hair Wavy hair and sometimes I want to take a bath or just need to rinse off and I would like to use a shower cap but it's so hard to get on

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm going to try holding a toothbrush in my mouth and hooking the cap on the brushed (turned upside down) in lieu of holding it with one hand, and then using my useable hand to pull it on in the back

How do you put deodorant on?

@onearmuniversity6357

I use stick deodorant. I adjust it so that the deodorant stick is as long as possible. Then i can reach my underarm by holding the deodorant in my hand, and bending my elbow as much as i can to reach my underarm. Does anyone have a different method? Thanks for the question, Marlene!
