Hello to All,
We are being asked to provide an RGO for a male adult polio patient. Since
the only place I've ever made one of these was at the Shrine, I have no idea
how to code out for one. It would appear that you code for bilateral KAFO's,
and then pick a hip joint for each side, and the method of attaching them:
plastic or metal cable systems.
Am I thinking about this the right way? Can anyone provide me with a sample
RGO coding that I can look at?
Any thoughts or ideas relative to this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Warren R Mays, CPO
