Tone reducing, inhibitive casting and orthoses have been effectively used in patients with cerebral palsy and head injury to improve gait patterns and decrease tone. We present a patient with dystonia musculorum deformans who had severe inversion and supination of his left foot with weight bearing. He did poorly with metal double-upright ankle-foot orthoses with lateral T-strap. A tone reducing ankle-foot orthosis (TRAFO) was successful in decreasing problems with abrasions and allowing him to walk without assistive devices. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1988002666 |
