Dear List, I have a 7 yo total body patient that crawls for his primary
mode of ambulation. The main complaint is bilateral knee pain and
swelling and the pt was diagnosed with prepatellar bursitis per his
physician. The pt also has mild knee and hip flexion contractures. The
physician requested knee pads for the pt to help protect the knees while
crawling. I tried neoprene knee sleeves but they were destroyed within
several weeks. Has anyone had any luck fitting a pt with knee pads
successfully. I guess the main factors of fitting this pt is the
protection/padding and suspension of the knee pads. Any ideas or
recommendations are greatly appreciated.
