    This helps, thank you! I got confused in my last post about spasticity when I asked if any spasticity was a yes, I did not make clear that it was at the branch of Spasticity, PF contracture, or absent proprioception affecting foot placement, not at the point of entering the initial question entering the tree. So this clears that up!

    If sensory is impaired from T2-L1, you have to assume that the motor level matches the sensory level. Even if you have 5s from L2 or beyond.

    Ok, rephrasing my question. I misread the correct answer on that one, but still have a question. Technically, if you follow the roadmap, the patient has spasticity, which is mild. Following the roadmap would lead you to group D, a polyarticulating AFO with a PF stop. So how did you get to a polyarticulating AFO with DF assist and DF stop, if answering yes to spasticity does not lead you down that branch?
