Hi List members,
   We have been doing a lot more pre-fab. Orthotics than we did in the
past, to save costs and turnaround time. With the declining
reimbursements, we need the best value on our purchases. Our expertise
and expedience is still a benefit that we can offer to hospitals
although ours is now stocking L'Nard type resting AFOs. Today I'd like
your opinion on your favorite post op knee orthoses?
Features include:
* Free motion vs ROM control
* Locking in full extension or with some flexion.
* Some offer limited ability to contour the uprights and have
varying ease of adjusting straps and fitting.
Which offer the best adjustability/features for the price? Do you stock
more than one style?
I'll post responses!
