A patient was referred to our clinic and has requested information
regarding cosmetic
restoration of her calf shape on both limbs. She has some simple
plastazote covers with posterior openings that were made for her some time
ago. She is mid 40s and has polio. She currently uses AFOs
bilaterally. I have had some discussion with Life Like Labs in Dallas but
would also like to hear of any experiences with other companies or
individuals who are qualified
to do this service. It would make sense to have the restorations
incorporate her feet and eliminate the leaf spring AFOs.
She just needs some options.
Thanks
