I have a patient who presents with extreme weakness in both hands - intrinsic minus hands with thumbs abducted. She needs a proximal pull back strap with a d-ring proximally on her AFO's - I have a few ideas but I was wondering what other people are doing.
 
Any advice is appreciated! I will post responses.
Cheers!
