Measured for Afos

[Guest guest]

Deante is not in the DBB because thats not what the dr. wanted. He already had

the surgeries and didnt think the dbb would be much help. Deante was measured

with a mesuaring tape..they didnt use a cast like mold. they wanted to get his

exact measurements from the knee down to see what they were.. I am hoping it

doesnt take that long to get the afos.
