I have a request for a friend's son who was injured while wrestling and sustained compartment syndrome with resultant peripheral neuropathy/ drop foot. He's currently undergoing PT and will soon receive a custom PLS AFO. Their question is in regard to his future of high school wrestling. The AFO may not be allowed and may cause injuries to other opponents.
I was thinking that a lace up style ankle gauntlet (off the shelf or custom) may suffice for positioning and for medial lateral ankle support. Since wrestling shoes are typically high top, I was thinking perhaps the shoe itself could be modified. Does anyone have experience with this that can share their experience?
Thanks, Zach Harvey, CPO
