Dear List,
I have a patient who is in her 60's with the most severe RA I have ever seen.
Her feet are extrememly deformed, much of the deformity on the plantar surface of the foot.
She currently wears custom shoes with inserts.
She would like to begin pool therapy, but is unable to stand or walk without shoes.
The ideas I have had are: Pedors, with custom inserts, but I don't know how well they will hold up to pool water.
The other idea is water shoes, with mineral gel insoles, although I don't know if that will be enough cushion.
So.... I am looking for creative ideas.
Thank you in adavance.
