I now use metal and leather leg braces and have for 4 years. My therapist now wants to have plastic braces made for both legs. I have researched this on the internet and have come to no conclusion. If anyone has anything that might be useful please comment.

I wore metal braces for
many years , when the plastic braces first came out I did not want to switch
over . I am so glad I did now for many reasons. The best reason of all
is the weight , plastic braces are much lighter and much more
comfortable for they breath , be sure to wear a cotton sock so that you
don't stick to the plastic . Also you have a variety of wearing
different shoes and sneaker with a plastic brace . They are extremely
strong and dependable . If I answer any more questions for you please
feel free to ask . Good luck.
