Hi All
I'm looking for an ankle joint which has a design similar to the serated
disc on a Jewett TLSO. I have a client who has a plantarflexion contracture
of +/- 30 degrees and the Dr. wants to incrementially dorsiflex the foot
(while providing a rigid AFO). In the past I have actually used Jewett
parts but am certain I've seen the same idea in a commercially available
joint.
If anybody knows of a supplier or manufacturer I'd really appreciate
hearing about it.
Thanks in advance for any info.
