Dear list,

I have an elderly lady that has a severe painful valgus deformity of the Right knee, to complicate matters her lower leg is rather large with flacid tissue. What have you done that has worked best for you? I suggested a KAFO which was quickly rejected. Donning is another issue as she has had bilateral shoulder Sx with weakness and limited ROM bilaterally. The Patient requests a fixed anterior closure system which I can modify to her needs. The problem, as I see it, is obtaining stabilization due to flacid tissue deformation.


I appreciate and welcome all comments and suggestions. Manufacturers, if you have something I can try I would appreciate that as well. Feel free to contact me @ 952) 745-3004
