Scoop Pads and Supracalcaneal Pads
The patient was seen today for fitting of bilateral AFO-Wraparounds. Proper trimlines and clearances were established. Scoop pads were added posteriorly to decrease the pressure at the back of the calf. Supracalcaneal pads were also added to seat the patient's heel in the brace. The parent was also given inch Aliplast ankle pads to help position the patient's foot. Fit was appropriate. Explained donning, doffing, wear, and care procedures to the parent. They will contact us should they notice any red areas that last longer than 30 to 40 minutes. We will see them back for adjustments as needed.
