convey the fact that the person in question had questionable research and
development. If an item as harmless as a prosthetic foot could have such
poor qualities and not take the amputees viewpoint on weight into
consideration then imagine what kind of R&D would go into the development of
a scoli system where real lasting harm could be done. The fact that he had
his certification revoked is just another reason to stay clear.
Let's try not to clog everybodies e-mail with this subject as has been done
in the past on topics such as Orthotics as a noun the point was made so
let's drop it.
