Dear Andrea Castello,
I am an orthotist currently working with the SAFO (Silicone Ankle Foot Orthosis)at Dorset Orthopaedic. The SAFO not only gives the patient increased M/L stability but also works effectively in preventing drop foot.
I have had excellent recent results with MS patients and would be willing to discuss this further with you if appropriate, you can also find more info on the website www.safo.eu.com where you will also find contact information.
Kind Regards
Matthew Hughes

Subject: Foot Drop
Hi All
Just seeking some advice regarding a 65 year old lady suffering with
Multiple Sclerosis. She has significant foot drop and massive lateral
instability on her right side. AFO's have proved unsuccessful and whilst
the devices I have prescribed have reduced the lateral instability there has
been no overall improvement in her amount of foot drop. Muscle strength is
very poor and whilst receiving rehabilitative physio, we are not achieving
the kind of results I would like. Any ideas for the type of device i could
use to assist this lady.
Kind Regards
Mr Andrea Castello
