Abstract

An adjustable brace of the type described is of practical value in the evaluation and treatment of gait disturbances. Unquestionably, the adaptability of the brace can be increased by change in design. The importance of the present brace is that it has demonstrated that an adjustable brace is technically feasible, practical, and of clinical value.
