Hello all!
I am looking for feedback on any Adult RGO's that are available.
Specifically I am comparing ARGO to the Australian Walkabout system but if
there are any other RGO's suitable for adults I would be interested in them
also.
My client is a drafting, blueprint teacher who needs to walk between desks
but uses his wheelchair 80% of the time. He has a undiagnosed condition
similar to Transverse Myelitis. He has decent hip extensors(4) but very
weak hip flexors(1) and quads(3). His ankle strength is actually quite
good. His condition is progressive, he has never used bracing but now he is
finding it difficult to stand and walk at all.
Any feedback is appreciated and responses will be posted anonymously.
Thanks!
