"Life Without Limits" - Support Dylan & Cerebral Palsy campaign update; The NEW Braces are in AND fitted. Yup, you heard it correctly folks! Dylan's new braces are in and have been fitted We visited Westcoast Brace and Limb on Friday for the fitting and all went well. The new braces sport a familiar look as we continue with a sports theme. Props to the folks at Westcoast Brace for their hospitality and care.
The braces include a new set of features that provide more flexibility in the cross-over straps allowing for increased ankle and calf support. The other feature, which I think is going to add to Dylan's comfort ability is the additional padding on both heels. Dylan does not use his wheelchair anymore (for the exception of Disney, Sporting events, etc) having this extra padding is going to help with his heels.
Once again! Thanks to all that have supported us! With-out YOU these new braces would NOT BE POSSIBLE!
Stay tuned to supportcp.org for photo and video progression updates as we turn the page on our next chapter of "Support Dylan and Cerebral Palsy". Thank you again to all of our supporters that have helped us along the way and the dedication you have provided us during the summer run!
Jules Bauer and his son, Les Bauer, LO, opened a medical facility that specialized in orthotic bracing and rental medical supplies. The business quickly grew into a success and eventually discontinued its association with rental supplies, specializing instead on bracing and prosthetic limbs. In 1981, Les assumed leadership of the company that is known today as Westcoast Brace & Limb. Les’s son, Greg Bauer, LPO, CPO, became part of the team in the late 1990s and is now the company President.
