Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ok folks, I am in need of another pair of AFOs. My feet have changed since my pregnancy and I got my last pair at & Filippis at Wayne State and will go back if I have to BUT I am up for new suggestions. I did have AFOs from Hanger and was not impressed. Also, anyone had experience with Helios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hello...I just had my 6 month appt. at MDA in Oklahoma City, they are so wonderful there and have the sweetest Neurologist on staff full time. The therapist is so impressed with my AFOs that he is sending me back to Hanger for new ones. I go in Friday to get checked over and get them ordered. Just had a bout with cellulitis, went barefoot and stepped on stickers and they got infected. Not a good thing to happen. I have to have some special areas in the AFOs to keep my weight off of the areas as they will be potential areas for reoccurrence. I did promise Dr. Beson I would never go barefoot again. MDA is paying for my new AFOs and he also ordered a DNA test. Will be curious to see what that reveals. My cousins came back as CMT1A. in Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 le, Without knowing the type of AFOs you are getting, it is not feasible to send you a picture. Did you ask your orthotist what kind they will be? Orthotists generally have pictures of all kinds of different AFOs, orthotics, shoes, etc. You should ask your orthotist. Sorry I took so long to reply to you. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
