AFO-Free Ankle

The patient was seen today for a recheck of her bilateral AFO-FAs. The patient reports that these are much more comfortable now and she is not having any problems with them except that she and her husband are having difficulty donning the shoes. They report that the back is crumpling even with the use of the shoehorn. I added leather loops to the posterior of both shoes to help pull the heel of the shoe out during donning. I instructed the patient's husband on how to don the shoes again, and he successfully donned the shoes today in the office. The patient is going directly to therapy today, and they will contact us should they have any further problems or questions.
