Dear list
  We have a patient whose sciatic nerve has been damaged in the thigh region because of late femoral Fx and has left insensate foot and left leg length discrepancy ( due to Fx malunion ) that reaches 54mm .
  The foot has no sweating , plantar flexion ROM is limited to 4-6 degrees and dorsiflexion to 0 degrees although plantar/doorsi flexor muscles strength is about grade4 according to routine muscle testing methods .
  Because of improper previous foot wear the 4th finger has been hyperextended and ride over 3rd finger and also some callosities has been grown in the sole of foot .
  The metatarsophalangeal ROM is normal .
  Wich shoe design and materials do you offer for this case ?
  Best regasrds and sincerely
  Mohammad reza Mirheydari
