Hi Group,
We have two orthopods in this area that see a great deal of Posterior Tibial
Tendon Dysfuntion. We( myself and 3 CO's) were wondering what the groups
expierience has been with this population. We are talking about the elderly,
overweight woman, with a hyper-pronated foot , that is correctable almost to
neutral in the rear foot with some degree of forefoot varus remaining. One
doctor, in particular, likes the low profile, posterior opening, articulating
AFO. The other usally Rx's UCBL. The question is: What is the expierience
/ opinion of using the short art. AFO vs. solid ankle AFO vs. UCBL?
Any and all responses are welcome.
