Banana Peels

[Marie]

After out last clinic visit, the clinic PT who has seen Danielle once before suggessted using Banana peel braces to help straighten her leg when she is wanting to stand.  Her PT who sees her once a week was asking about HKAFOs. . .

What are your experiences with either one of these braces? 

[Annie Beth]

I have no idea what banana peel braces are, but we have HKAFOs.  Anna doesn't use them very frequently.  She is very particular about things on her body being restrictive.  We got them mostly to keep her legs straight because her feet turn in pretty badly.  They do help, but she would rather shuffle around and struggle to untangle her feet than wear them.
