Follow-up to 31 year old with EDS

Gretchen Wellman

Good morning,

Just thought I’d send a little follow-up to my previous case of a 31 year old mother with Ehler Danlos Syndrome in need of knee orthoses. She and I discussed the multitude of options you all presented (Townsend, Bledsoe, KAFOs, knee sleeves, etc) and we ended up going with the Bledsoe 20.50, starting just with the left. I fit her the other day and she was very very happy; her gait improved and she felt much more stable. If it continues to do well, we will proceed with the right side.

Thanks everyone for the advice! 🙂 The patient and I both appreciate it.
