The foot and ankle, are both unique medical science and specialty, unto
themselves. I'm sorry to read of your present issues and am truly surprised
that your specialist waited so long for a follow-up. First, you have to
determine "normal" medical protocol for this type of procedure to determine
if its unique or someone failed to do their follow-up. Foot Drop Surgery is
a serious procedure and should never be ignored.
Take Care of your health and body. Then demand tangible answers to your
questions, from those who service you. I personally wished that I could
offer you more.......
Best Wishes

Hi wheelchair and quad list members:
on Monday. My caregiver noticed that my foot was totally lose. It usually
is fixed at a 90° angle. I had foot drop surgery in May of 2012. My ankle
was operated on and a fixator was used. It was not checked for eight days
and I developed gangrene because it was on too tight. I was in the hospital
one month for IVs. Then I had to have a wound vacuum for two months before
plastic surgery.
I went to KU ER and they thought it was a ruptured tendon and a sent me to
a plastic surgeon. He read the x-rays and said my fusion had come apart
and he referred me to of orthopedic surgeon. Now I'm not sure what to do. I
don't feel comfortable going back to the same Dr. I called my rehab Dr. and
left a message and called the original orthopedic Dr. that did my first
foot drop surgery in 1980.
Do you have any suggestions of what I should do. Has anyone else ever
encountered this problem. Or do you know of anyone. I would appreciate any
thoughts or recommendations.
Dana

I notice that they have voice control ECU's.
I have the Imperium 200H ECU base unit plus large remote.
It is rocker switch/push button control.
List price of base unit from abledata.com is $3580
I'd be interested in selling if anybody is looking for an ECU.
It can control phone,tv,stero, lights, bed, appliances
