Seeking suggestions regarding a 56 yo man, dx polio at age 3, unilateral
KAFO & shoe lift user since he was a young child. He's happy with his
current polypro KAFO w/ SS uprights (under plastic) and droplocks. He is
interested in pursuing a way to make the affected leg more cosmetic
(matching girth of contralateral leg as well as minimizing valgus
appearance) within pant leg. I have a few ideas but thought I'd see
what methods and materials have been tried and been successful. I'll
post results.
Thanks in advance,
