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.
Wetlands are areas of land that are covered with water for at least part of a year. The two types of freshwater wetlands are marshes, which contain non-woody plants or shrubs, and swamps which contain woody plants or shrubs.There are also saltwater wetlands which are called estuaries.etlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.. The wetland ecosystems are one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Wetlands provide habitat that is critical for nesting, rearing, feeding, and migrating bird and other wildlife populations in watersheds across the nation.
