Full body casts - Orthopedic cast

When dry it was hard and inelastic, but when warmed it became soft and malleable.

The resin cast is much stronger and lighter than plaster and much cheaper than foundry cast bronze.

Our group was allowed the choice of cast, but had to include a minimum of 2 limbs.

For example, after wearing an arm cast for some time, you're likely to experience not only a decrease in muscle thickness, but a decrease in the length of your muscle as well.

Remembering this fact, after James asked me several questions which included about how I felt wearing the cast, how restricted did I feel and what sort of daily tasks did I realize that I could and could not perform, I asked him if it were permissable to save my casts, and if not, why couldn't I and the others do so.

Also used to hold the arm or elbow muscles and tendons in place after surgery.
