Hello Colleagues and Guests:
A 66-year-old gentleman weighing about 165 lbs., who had poliomyelitis
when he was younger, is used to wearing a custom-molded KNEE ORTHOSIS to
control recurvatum. It is constructed of stretched 3/16 polypropylene
(no fenestrations), with 3/16 X 3/4 sidebars and free motion knee
joints.
After many years in this, he is looking for something LIGHTER IN WEIGHT
by more than a couple of ounces. I have yet to find a solution that will
offer a substantial improvement, such as the DAW Graphlite system used
to provide. Do you have a viable recommendation? Thank you for
considering this with me.
