Hello to All,
I am hoping to locate thermoplastic or composite ankle joints (no metal)
that will allow free plantar flexion with dorsiflexion stop (stop not
resist). Thermoplastic AFO design, conventional is not an option for
her. This patient is a 250# diabetic who underwent Achilles repair but
is still at risk of re-injury. MMT is normal; the goal is to prevent
future injury due to uncontrolled DF and possible progressing
neuropathy. Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Lisa Schoonmaker, CPO
