Has anybody had experience with a Zero G Brace (or equivalent)?
It claims to be able to offload 100% of plantar weight bearing loads,
however I would like to know if anyone has had experience in using one
and what the outcome was. I have a complex right TT amputee, with
chronic plantar surface breakdowns on the left foot (mainly heel) with
over active dorsiflexors.
I would be very grateful for any experience anyone's had with this sort
of device.
I am trying to assess if this device would be better than a CROW/Arizona
style brace for a definitive treatment option.
Many thanks,
Monique
