Hello,
I just evaluated a lady who is in need of a neoprene knee orthosis. She is
obese, and
the shape of her leg does not cooperate with pull on knee orthoses. She has
been a wearer
for a few years, and she is requesting a model which she wore about a year
ago but has lost since
then.
The model she had was a wrap around neoprene with velcro instead of a
tubular pull-on design. She does
not want a pull on orthosis, and she does not need external joints.
If anyone knows where I can obtain this type of knee orthosis, I would
apprecaite your assistance.
Thanks.
