Abstract

The patient cannot see and probably could care less what goes into the solid shoe-ankle component. From his standpoint it would seem the main advantage of the braces is their simple design. I repeat, the patients have to wear them before they can appreciate their ease of use. I wish I had a control group of paraplegics with floppy ankle bracing only, to answer the foregoing questionnaire, as it is difficult to equate the bias of the answers due to the patients wanting to please their ‘alma mater’ and say the right things. My impression is that the brace used at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital has many advantages over other types. It appears, the proof is in the pudding, as evidenced by the response to the questionnaire.
