Tom:
“Excessive dorsiflexion in swing phase” as a substitute for “dropfoot”? When
I read that I thought, surely there is a better way to say it. But if there
is, I can’t think of it. No wonder “dropfoot” has stuck.
But, frankly, I’d rather be stuck with “dropfoot” than with “cockup.” Well,
the term, I mean!
If anyone can think of a good substitute phrase for “cock-up splint,” I’d
love to put it into use. A good humored patient said, as he handed me his
prescription for a “cock-up splint,” “Why didn’t he just prescribe Viagra?”
🙂
Best to all this holiday season.
