Hello all,
I have been asked to provide a Cascade Up and About system for a 22 year
old T12 SCI. He's got good trunk control and strong upper body. Minimal
contractures.
I fit one of these a few years ago, and really fought with it. Biggest
problem was attaching the reciprocating unit to the medial side bars
once the patient was in the KAFO's. The abduction angle of the unit seemed
real extreme for the patient's standing abduction angles.
Anyway, I've called a few colleagues, and no one seems to have much
positive to say about the system. Are there any clinicians out there who
have
used the Up and About with success that would recommend it? If so, what
tips
and techniques have you found that improve outcomes?
Thanks in advace.
