Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi all, I feel kind of silly posting this, as the discussion on the board has been so technical, and so interesting lately! This seems kind of like asking a group of phd's what color the sky is... but, anyway... Tyson MAY need orthotics. His PT is waiting to reevaluate this month to see if he does. He VERY slightly pronates his feet. He is walking , but cannot stand up by himself from the middle of the room, so he crawls to a wall or piece of furniture to get back up. I'm not sure what to think. ty doesn't really have flat feet. he has a good arch. I think he is struggles with laxicity in his hips, so it is harder for him to engage all the right muscles to power up from the floor without support. Would orthotics help that? I am not really excited about getting them, to be honest. But, if he needs them, I'm wondering what would be better for him? I have looked at the Sure Step ones (www.surestep.net) and am quite interested in these. My PT is pretty set on getting custom made ones for him, though. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas/advice/experience? thanks for any input. sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
