I just read about a guy who looks to be older than me, with hereditary neuropathy, and he just finished a marathon with 'action adapted' orthoses, that don't look all that much different than prosthesis for amputees...work on similar principles but lighter, and slightly cheaper. (Think a second mortgage).

I am going to have a talk with doc, before I get another tibial fracture...and I just might try to find out how this guy trains....
