As a Pediatric Physical Therapist, my 35+ years of exploration with
specialized casting and Dynamic AFOs/FOs has also taken me into a
broader exploration of Dynamic Mechanical and Sensory Support Systems
to improve function. This information was written for inclusion
in a book which is in progress. It is shared here in hopes of providing
help to others.
