Thanks for all the responses for the Up and About system. Hope this is
helpful to others as well.

I've done 4 or 5 and have had remarkable success. It's expensive but I
found it worked very well and was easy to operate. You may try using
Cascades casting box. I helps alot in fab.
I have used the Steeper RGO, Fillauer and the ISOcentric...sorry but I have
no experience with the Cascade system. But I will tell you for high
level(mobility wise) very functional Paras I like the Steeper RGO the
best...you just need a solid ankle afo and then attach the structure...they
actually have a loaner you can try on a patient....
Also I worked with therapy to make sure they are Independent in all aspects
of wheelchair mobility before fitting them with RGOs..if they cannot get
themselves up from the ground and back into their chair they are NOT strong
enough to walk...just a personal note.
jose - i have also been asked to provide one to a 6 or 7 yr old spina bifida
pt - i have lots of RGO experience but none with up & about - pls send me or
post the responses you get to this e-mail
I did not have any problem. The guy that makes them used to work for
Cascade Orthopedic Suppply. He will send you the casting device. You make
the cast using the device and he will make and bill you for the finished
braces. Again, I did not have a problem and it was an easy fit.
I have also used the Center for Orthotics, run by Wally Motloch and had no
problems. With the frame from the walk about they come finished so the
delivery time is quicker.
