Working / Worked
It work really well to loosen my ankles so I walk properly but, they give out on me now randomly sometimes but, most often when I run or exercise for long periods of time. They were really friendly in the hospital and made sure I wasn't scared and as comfortable as possible. After wards they helped me strengthen my legs because they were weak after surgery.
