Why should a physician or healthcare provider recommend the Bracehorn to their patients?

Short answer: Dominic makes the case for clinical recommendation on the basis of patient quality of life rather than clinical outcome. He points out that wearing braces is difficult enough on its own, and that having to wear shoes on top of that adds another daily burden. He emphasizes that wearing good shoes with an AFO or brace is important and that the two go hand in hand. When getting those shoes on is a struggle every day, the patient becomes frustrated and the experience is unpleasant. On that basis he argues that physicians, caregivers, orthopedists and physical therapists should be equipping patients with tools that make their lives easier, and states his belief that the Bracehorn has the capability to do exactly that.
In Dominic's words
It is to make their life easier. Because it is hard enough to wear braces all your life, let alone that you also have to wear shoes. It is very important to wear good shoes with an AFO or with braces. Without it, it just goes hand in hand.
And when you have such a difficult time putting the shoes on, it just makes the patient a lot more frustrated, and it is not fun. So a physician, or any caregiver, or an orthopedist, or a physical therapist should provide them with tools that will make the patient's life a lot easier. And I believe the Bracehorn has that capability to do that.
That is really the argument. The brace is already a daily reality for these patients, and the shoe is part of that same daily reality. If there is a simple tool that takes the frustration out of one of those steps, that is something a provider is in a position to hand them.
