Does anyone have suggestions for perspiration inside a CROW? I have several patients who are experiencing extreme sweating even in winter weather - I am concerned for when it warms up! I have suggested they change their socks frequently and to take off the front of the boot if they are not walking. For the most severe case I suggested trying clinical strength anti-perspirant on the leg to stop the sweat ( I have some reservations about this but the problem is severe!)
I know eventually the sweating should calm down once the leg gets acclimated to the warmth and I know that added holes will prevent the airflow pumping effect when walking - I am wondering if there are any specific design changes people have tried to improve the situation?
Does anyone have a source for long wicking socks or any other suggestions?
As always, the feedback from the members of this list is very much appreciated! I will post responses anonymously.
