Italy and how we learned to embrace technology to improve accessibility to advanced care.

Working in and around Italy over the years has been a lot of fun for Dave. During COVID, not that we are eager to mention that word these days, there came the era of all meetings becoming electronic via Teams, Zoom, Skype and video call.

Why we call ourselves “World-Class”

We don't as that is up to others. But we might lean on it occasionally for Kudos. This will be a small series of notes to indicate where we have been involved, lately, in the past and in future with respect to our goals of spreading the word on products, expertise, biomechanics, asynchronous learning… and enjoying doing it. We will limit it to around 6 articles, just to give you some idea of who you are, hopefully, going to build up a long term relationship with....

Unlocking Mobility: The KAFO Guy’s Approach to Modern Orthotics

Moving Beyond the "90-Degree Obsession" in Orthotic Design For decades, standard orthotic practice followed a predictable formula. If a patient presented with severe lower limb weakness or neurological deficits, the solution was a rigid Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) or AFO (Ankle-Foot-Orthosis). These traditional devices were built to immobilise, locked at a strict 90-degree angle to prevent joint collapse. While standard bracing provides safety and basic clearance to prevent tripping, it often neglects a critical asset: the patient’s own capacity for neurological recovery....
