Left AFO ground-reactive type.
Lumbosacral reflexopathy.
This 26-year-old female presents with left lower extremity paralysis. Her medical status has improved to the point where she feels she can ambulate effectively in this ground-reaction orthosis.
I had her in the parallel bars, flex and extend her left knee with her right foot completely off the ground. She was able to go into a crouch and then extend under her own power, use her arms for assistance.
Fabricate left ground-reaction AFO SET AT 90 degrees.
