Subject: sometimes this site really irritates me!! sm

I do have the STedmans ortho book and an abbreviation book but I guess I missed the abbreviation "controlled ankle motion" since it was late and I had been working forever!

I know that it is the type of a variety of walkers and braces also. I just was understanding the sentence and I figured I would get a second opinion. Next time maybe I will just not.

Some people on here make you feel so stupid and this is supposed to be a help board. I honestly do not think that anybody posts a question on here without googling it or looking it up in some book. But sometimes after a long day at work and exhaustive attempts to find something out for yourself you just need a little help.

guess is that they are talking about degrees of flexion at those 2 digits of the pinky, so it means 15 degrees and 15 degrees, if that helps you decide if you want a comma between the numbers or perhaps a back slash.
