Short arm splints should not be used when prevention of pronation and supination is necessary. In this case, a sugar-tong splint, a long arm splint, or a long arm cast should be considered. The decision to apply a splint rather than a cast requires several considerations. Although casts provide more support by virtue of their circumferential nature, they can be more difficult to apply.
A marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous rather than woody plant species. Marshes can often be found at the edges of lakes and streams, where they form a transition between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They are often dominated by grasses, rushes or reeds. If woody plants are present they tend to be low-growing shrubs.
Florida's freshwater marshes are non-tidal systems dominated by grasses, sedges and other emergent hydrophytes. These wetlands are non-forested and have non-peat soils (unlike bogs and fens). They are periodically or continually flooded. The water chemistry in Florida's marshes depends on nearby water sources.
