Fellow colleagues,
Have a pt. with post-polio syndrome, major concern is hyperextension (approx
20°), at the knee. Trialled CAMP Hyperextension KO with no success -
excessive pressure over distal tibial crest. History of several custom made
KOs from other orthotic centers, all with the same result.
Question : has anyone out there used either the Townsend full shell or
premier polio-style KOs for successful hyperextension control?? Hesitant to
commit to custom made devise that may prove no better than previous braces.
Will list responses...
