Hi.
I have a Klenzak (conventional AFO) on an older patient/client who works
in a factory here. He has developed in the past a rash around his calf
under the leather (cow hide) calf band. I have asked him numerous times
to wash his socks daily that he wears as an interface between the
leather and his skin. He claims that he wears a clean one every day and
that it stays in place. The rash will clear up, then reappear 3-4
months later. Any ideas on a different calf band liner material? I am
sure this is just a hygiene problem, but any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
