Hi everyone,
I have heard of people scanning the outside of their afo casts for those
patients with severe tone who needed to be casted due to not being able to
correct the limb properly for a scan otherwise. How do people feel about
this method? Others I know bifurcate the cast and scan the interior then in
software put it back together.
I was curious of peoples experimenting with different methods for AFOs and
results they are getting. I like to find the best ways to use the scanning
in as many ways as possible but not to reduce any possible patient
outcomes.
Thanks in advance
