Hello List. Thank you to everyone who responded to my query about fabrication of a CROW Orthosis for someone who has difficulty bending forward to don the CROW. Attached are photos of the finished product. One of our orthotic technicians worked on the brace and followed suggestions of adding a reinforced Dacron hinge to the toe-area of the CROW and then utilized a spiral strap system so that the client needed to undo the straps proximally on the anterior shell and open the shell enough for him to slide his foot into the brace. This may not work for every CROW-user because this client's foot was relatively normal in shape and he had about 10 degrees of active ankle plantarflexion so he could point the foot down to go into the brace. Thanks again to all who responded.
