Hello fellow listees,

Orthotists out there this one's for you.

1. Patient is in a plastic solid-ankle AFO. Specific Dx is not important.
2. Young therapist notices volume changes of leg causing fit-related problems.
     Seeks recommendations for alternative treatment from C.O. and M.D.
3. C.O. recommends metal and leather dorsi-assist, plantar-stop AFO.
4. M.D. suggests using copper-berylium in orthosis construction.

Question: Copper-berylium? How, why, where, what? (Our secretary said it can be used in bracelets as a treatment for arthritis)

I will post edited replies w/o names.
Rick Miller, C.O.
