Abstract
Ambulation has always been difficult for patients with myelodysplasia; however, introduction of the reciprocal gait orthosis seemingly offered increased potential as an ambulatory aid. Review of 41 patients with myelodysplasia treated with the reciprocal gait orthosis revealed that 78% reached community or household ambulator status, a marked improvement over previous results with traditional hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses.Keywords
