Hi List:
I have a pt. for whom I wish to provide an AFO to unload (as much as possible) his foot/ankle. He has a painful fused ankle as a result of a burn injury s/p 50 yrs. His whole leg is scarred from the burn, and there is little fatty tissue remaining--it is literally skin and bone.
So rather than a hard PTB cuff, I would like to do a conventional AFO with a long molded leather cuff.
I am looking for recommendations of a central fab that can make it right the first time.
Thanks,
Troy Fink, CPO
