Can you please send any comments that you have about the Up and About System or other adult RGO systems?

Thanks in advance


I am working with a 45 year old lady who has incomplete paraplegia due to injury at T12 and L2 in 1975. She is currently wearing a right KAFO with locked knee and a left rigid AFO. Her stability is decreasing and she continues to have hip internal rotation problems on the right. I don't know whether to use a hip joint and pelvic band or to try something more extensive. The therapist requested something to control the rotation but as we were talking the RGO idea came up. Is an RGO too much bracing?
