castmenow: I used Bolton Brothers in Newcastle for my HKAFOs and the price was reasonable. Definitely north of Birmingham.

castmenow: I saw a lady in town yesterday with a long arm cast in blue fibreglass, struggling a bit to pick up and manoeuvre things with such a restrictive cast, her friend was helping her out. I had not thought about casts for a while, but that got me going again.

bracedfan: Hi all, can anyone help with this. I am searching for a movie (American) from the 70's or 80's which featured a villain wearing leg-braces and walked with canes. He stalked and terrified the couple next door.

castmenow: You can look on ebay for used items or try contacting vintage braces UK for new ones but hard to get them without visiting for measurement.

poliowannabe: New braces are always going to take time to get adjusted to. I think it takes at least 6 months to break in new Kafo's ? It depends on how much one likes to wear them ?
