Everyone thanks for your responses
I asked it because the mother of my new patient massaged her daughters arms
several times a day, which was reducing the spasm. Because this was a
contradiction with everything I'd learned I wondered if the views on this
subject had changed in those years.
The mother is still doing it and it seems to have a positive effect on the
spasm, so I'll let it be and learn from it.
Thnx everyone,
Bart
