Much needed videos ..thanku so much

Hello! I really enjoy your videos and find them to be very helpful. Is it possible to do a video on Solid AFOs? Basically an AFO that is not articulated? I've used articulated AFOs before but now it is recommended that I get the solid AFOs (to help with ankle instability, spastic diplegia, flat foot) and I wonder what difficulties I might face wearing them. It would also be helpful to do a video on exercises for those with ankle instability. Thank you.

Hello, this is great video but is there one you can show how to correctly put a solid ankle AFO in a client with dystonia who’s foot curls inward? I’m not sure if we’re doing it correctly so it would be nice to see it on video so I can show it to my client as well.

I'm surprised a Sanrio girl is into orthotics.
