Plastic Braces???
We here at the Orthotorium like the old fashioned leather and
steel braces.
We have also succumbed to the idea that plastic braces have a
role to play
in the modern life of a braced person. They are lightweight and
in cold climates
can be quite comfortable where perspiration is not a problem.
A fine example
has been sent in by a Canadian legbracer. Hope you enjoy the high
resolution
pictures and fine close up photography.
Drawback #1 Plastic
braces
will melt if placed
on the stove.
Plastic is imprinted
with blue jeans pattern.
Fitting of shoe plates
inside of shoe makes braces invisable with long pants.
