Hello,
I have seen this before, but never used it...can't think of the name! I
have a child that requires bilateral KAFO's. The therapist wants to control
scissoring...rather than go up to HKAFO, is there not a device that can be
attached medially between the two thighs to the thigh shell that allows
flex/ext at the hips, but will control ADDuction? What the heck is it
called? Where can I get more info?
Thanks
