Good Morning List,
Can anyone recommend PRAFO's for a patient in ICU who is a long term paraplegic with fixed 45 degree planar flexion contractures? I am hesitant to heat mold the frame of a standard PRAFO for fear of losing the heel relief area. I prefer to use something designed for that purpose.
Thank you,
David Gerecke, CPO, FAAOP
