Dear List Members,
I'm seeking suggestions concerning the use of orthotic quick disconnects. In this case, its use in the connection of a unilateral HKAFO to a Boston style TLSO for a 11year old CP child. In the past I've utilized a Becker model 980 with success. However, due to increased size, strength and spasticity, the quick disconnect no longer holds together. Is there another on the market that will serve the same purpose, that is simple for the parents to use, and has no parts (screws, knobs, etc.) that can get lost?
