I do, however, have a question. What did the original “cardboard” splint you were sent home with look like? If it had the same basic pattern as the splint your son “invented”, then you can not really say he invented it–he just made it out of a different material. This would be analagous to some one making a car out of aluminum rather than steel, then claiming to have invented automobiles.

The reason I ask is because this splint looks remarkably like a splint I have been using on my patients since I became a therapist in 2001 (2 years before your stroke). This splint design was invented by Waleed Al-Oboudi, OTR/L. Can your son really claim to have invented this splint when such a similar splint already exists? Being associated with Mr. Al-Oboudi, I cannot imagine he gave up the rights to this splint for your son to profit.

I understand that Mr. Froom has a patent on this splint. That said, can he really claim to be the INVENTOR of this splint?

Thank you for your time. I am very interested to get a response to my inquiry.
