Evaluating function:
With thousands of fittings we have noted that the patient transition to using the Queing forces of the orthosis happens very quickly. Generally each time the patient walks the length of the parallel bars, their gait pattern changes. This continues to happen for a number of days. Although adjustments to the orthosis may be needed to eliminate impingement and insure the orthosis does not injure the patient. It is recommended to refrain from modifying the orthosis for cosmetics or function untill the patient has worn the orthoses for at least 1-2 weeks, of full time use.
