Laura-Ann Bushby has problems performing everyday tasks because of repetitive strain injuries to both of her lower arms, wrists, and hands. She wears braces on both wrists. We took this photo of Laura-Ann doing her hair. She is an attractive woman who takes obvious care with her appearance. The act of blow-drying her hair is overwhelming for her.

She must take frequent rests, and by the time she is finished, her hands and arms are numb.
