Description
This splint was designed by Ann McKie, an occupational therapist who works with developmentally disabled children in northeastern Minnesota. The design for the splint was, she says, divinely inspired by love for the children she served.
In October 1996, the U.S. Patent Office granted her patent. McKie completed her masters thesis research on the splint's effectiveness in 1997. In 1998, she received her Masters in Therapeutic Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
McKie Splints was formed at the urging of therapists and parents of children who had used the first splint prototypes. The splint utilizes the concepts of balancing muscle pull and strengthening weaker muscles through everyday use, which are emergent concepts in the field of neurorehab.
