Real progress with details

Bob is a 6 foot 5 inch C5 ASIA B status post diving accident. His therapist has progressed him from KAFO's to AFO's. Additionally, the therapist has FES applied to the tib anterior and pernoneals that he activates via a trigger switch to break the extension spasticity. The GHS frees up an individual to manually correct improper foot placement. The therapist reports the harness works very well with the braces. This particular individual also buckles on occasion. Generally this happens when the patient accidentally activates the e-stim bilaterally. The main point is that the GHS effectively prevents him from falling and there is no pain or skin irritation from the harness. The therapist reports this client has tried numerous harnesses and said the GHS harness is by far the most comfortable.
