Text:

Does anyone have experience with a knee brace to compensate for weak
hamstrings? I haven't seen the patient,but a doctor asked me about it for his
father.
The patient apparently circumducts his leg while walking and has little
control when extending the leg. The knee does not buckle as the quads are ok.
