Dear List Members:
Looking for suggestions for a straight posterior carbon fiber AFO similar to the Ossur AFO Lite. Patient is wanting something as low profile as possible. The AFO Lite may be our best option, but I was wondering if there are alternatives to that design that may be thinner and less conspicuous. The patient has footdrop but is expecting return of dorsiflexion function, so, ideally, the AFO will only be a short term need. Is anyone making AFOs with Rush foot type material?? Thanks for any replies!Bryan King, LPO,CPO
