The novice versus the experienced clinician: insights into the work of the physical therapist.

abstract：:We applied knee-ankle-foot orthoses to 17 consecutive patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy at the time they lost independent ambulation. We judged the value of the orthoses solely by the patients' ability to walk. With the orthoses, 7 patients (41%) became effective ambulators and benefited greatly from the appli...
