\"babyjace\"Jace Matthew Coutee was born June 18th 2011. He was diagnosed with bilateral clubfoot through 4D imaging during the 2nd trimester. After arriving it was apparent something was also going on with his upper extremities as both arms presented stuck in extension with shoulders internally rotated,\u00a0wrist flexed, and thumb in palm deformity. Jace began cloobfoot treatment casting at 5 days old under Dr. Gates at Shriners Hopsital for children in Shreveport LA. He underwent 11 total casting sessions including the final casting following the tedon release on the Achilles. During this time Jace had little to no movement in his arms and the only therapy applied to the uppers until 6 \"???????????\"months old was passive range of motion stretching and splinting to improve\u00a0wrist and thumb posture. We saw very little active motion gains during this time and as a father I could not accept the notion that this was all that could be done for this condition. I began to consult with many doctors and physical therapist\u00a0and spent countless hours online researching.\u00a0\u00a0I began to study\u00a0every therapy option available to restore and promote active ROM in other types of trauma, conditions and rehabilitation. We began electrical muscle stimulation on the last week of his 6th month. Jace gained active shoulder ROM after 3 months of electrical stimulation. He began to crawl and bear weight on his arms. At \"??????????\"this time we still saw very little gains in bicep function. It would not be until 6 months later (1 year and 3 months) that we would see Jace put his binky in his own mouth with active elbow flex with his left arm for the first time. I recorded 2 songs\u00a0which served as an emotional release to help get through the psychological weight carried by stretching and massaging him\u00a0aggressively while he cried himself into exhaustion on a daily. Songs can be\u00a0viewed below. Today however…. Jace’s arms have gained mass and are becoming\u00a0increasingly active and stronger\u00a0with each passing\u00a0day. The JACE Method\u2122\u00a0is\u00a0our gift to the\u00a0AMC\u00a0Community.\u00a0A\u00a0dream\u00a0that \"liftingcup_small\"our\u00a0experience will become more than a story of\u00a0how Jace benefited but also a detailed, documented,\u00a0and effective method in which all parents and children diagnosed with amyoplasia can achieve gains beyond what was previously thought to be possible. Good luck and\u00a0God Speed!<\/p>\n
