Hi all, I'm wondering if there is anyone out there with lots of MD orthotics
experience. I have a 31 year old male who was ambulating without orthotics
until recently, when he fell and fractured his hip because his knee buckled.
He has excessive upper extremity weakness and hip and knee weakness, but
his ankles have perfect strength. He can't use forearm crutches or anything
like that due to upper extremity weakness. The therapist has asked me to
make him somthing to ensure his knees don't buckle again. I'm thinking of
using some sort of stance control, what is the lightest thing out there so
he doesnt consume too much energy? Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Karen Boehm CO(c)
