Hello,

 

I have a young patient, 3 years post CVA. Wants to skate again. He
ambulates with no AFO quite well, but when trying to skate, during pushoff,
his foot inverts, has no power. A friend of his apparently is using a Blue
Rocker in the skate, and I just cannot see this working (not enough room in
the boot). My thought is to attach something externally to the skate boot.
I know I have seen a case study in the past about such a device. Any
thoughts? Pictures?

 

Thank you!
