I am sorry that I did not post all of the prior responses to my dilemma of
broken posterior leaf spring AFO's with a very active teenager. I had been
using polypro with a corrugation along the posterior midline. A number of
people responded that copoly seems to work well for them. I also received a
couple of responses from people suggesting Camp's Toe Off orthosis. I
recently spoke to someone at Camp who explained that they are having the same
problem with this orthosis. They will be coming out with a model for more
active people and he suggested waiting until then.

I will be delivering a new one out of copoly later this week.

Thanks for all of your responses.

Carol
