serial casting for my toddler

[Guest guest]

Just got back from the Neurodevelopmental Center with my daughter. The

Physiatrist and neurologist both suggested serial casting from my daughter to

lengthen her heel cords. She is rather rapidly loosing range of motion in her

feet. They are getting tighter and tighter and she is only two. They also

suggested heel cord lengthening, but I want to stay away from surgery as long as

possible.

Has anyone tried this type of thing? Did it work? Or would it be easier on her

to just do the heel cord legthening and get it over with?
