Endometriosis may obstruct the tube and keep the egg and sperm from uniting. But the condition also seems to affect fertility in less-direct ways, such as damage to the sperm or egg. Even so, many women with mild to moderate endometriosis can still conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.
I know people who wear one ankle foot orthotic (AFO) brace. Answer Wiki. To expound on the picture of an AFO, this is a device that is custom fitted to the patient. It is designed to hold the ankle in a 90 degree angle. People who wear this will have developed a foot drop.
The situation has changed, obviously. According to Richie, roughly 40,000 custom AFOs are now prescribed annually. One reason for the increase, of course, is the Richie Brace itself, which he developed and launched in 1996. Today Richie Technologies, Inc., based in Seal Beach, CA, offers a line of nine braces.
