Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Amelia, I'm not a parent, but a life of CMT had me tripping all over as a kid. Mostly because of 1) fatigue and 2) being a fast-moving toe- walker. Now, your neurologist is a bit pessimistic; yes, a physical therapist would be good and hopefully would be able to work with a Certified Pedorthotist who may be able to create some little " in shoe custom orthotics " that would help balance her feet better on the ground. You can find a Pedorthotist through http://cpeds.org on your own if you want also. Or if you get to Los Angeles, you can get appointments with Rudy and Stefan (my orthotists) at http://swissbalance.com Perhaps also get a 2nd opinion from a Pediatric Orthopedist might be a good idea too. I am also wondering if Theraputic Horse Back Riding may be of some benefit here - guess that comes under PT. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 First thing I'd say is get rid of that Neurologist. The reason I tripped alot when I was a kid is that I had a bad drop foot on my right and fatigue. I was never a lover of braces as a kid (blame ego), so my mom put patches on the inside and outside of the knees of my jeans when they were still new. Later I had a surgery in which they took care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Oh how funny is this. I would save old jeans to make patches for Adam's pants. He didn't like the feeling of a stiff new patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
