Title:
90 Degree posterior stop
Text:
Dear colleagues and guests. I'm on a roll and this is the kind of stuff that
seems more important than what I normally see on the listserve.
1. Give me ONE example (pathologies included) where an articulating 90 degree
posterior stop plastic AFO is indicated and works well for walking. 2. Tell
me why a custom fabricated tweeked posterior leaf spring AFO (floor
reaction or otherwise) would not do just as well, if not better.
3. Tell me what the advantages are to have a rigid anterior shell in a floor
reaction AFO.
This ought to generate at least some discussion and thought.
Thanks for your replies.
