CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: To enable an individual who has had both a stroke and a hip replacement to put on a shoe and an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) independently. A footstool was built of nine-millimeter plywood with an upright piece attached to a base piece at a 90-degree angle and both pieces attached to legs at approximately a 30-degree angle. The back piece was equipped with a stop that outlines the shape of the user’s shoe. A strap holds the shoe in position. The user places the shoe, with the AFO inserted, against the back of the stool under the strap. The user lifts his leg into position and slides his foot into the shoe and orthosis.
