Hey Guys, I have a patient with significant weakness in the plantarflexors of both feet/ankles. I am looking for some active motion with energy return. I am looking for ideas for some type of fairly simple AFO. I considered using a dorsiflexion assist tamarack joint that is turned around backwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
