Donning AFO’s with extreme UE weakness

Cheryl Lewis

I have a patient who presents with extreme weakness in both hands – intrinsic minus hands with thumbs abducted. She needs a proximal pull back strap with a d-ring proximally on her AFO’s – I have a few ideas but I was wondering what other people are doing.

Any advice is appreciated! I will post responses.
Cheers!
