Hi,

Just a thought...Have you considered the benefits of Lycra body suits in improving upper limb function??? I have seen some amazing effects upon hand writing ability and improved hand function following increased proximal stability and proprioceptive feedback. I've seen some great results of suits manufactuired by companies such as Second Skin. I carried out some research and ability to eat/drink/handle cuttlery and write as a result of wearing such suits can be seen in many cases. Maybe you were after exs programmes specifically, so maybe my info is not much help, I dont know!!!
