Dear List, Over the years I have had patients who suffered a crush injury to their foot, and after healing from the incident were left with hyper-sensitivity of the extremity. I recently had a healthy 28 yo patient come in with a Rx for an Arizona AFO who is 2 years post accident and has been unable to wear a shoe since the injury. She had a sub-talor fusion after the accident, but is now structurally sound with an acceptable range of motion. I showed her a picture of the recommended brace and she told me in no uncertain terms that she would not wear it because she cannot tolerate the pressure it would apply. I would appreciate input from the list on how you have been treating folks in similiar situations and will post responses anonymously. Thanks in advance for your help.Darrel Templeton COA Step Forward O&P
