Re: Blue Rockers for Children?

[Guest guest]

Yes, depending on the age & size of the child. My daughter's first

braces (when she was 7) were the Toe Off KiddieGait which I think are

the pediatric version of the Blue Rockers. They are much less rigid

than the Blue Rockers & she wore them out after 6 months. She then had

the smallest size of the Blue Rockers & her orthotist at the time

simply cut down the foot plate & shin plate to accomodate her leg

length. Unfortunately she wore these out in a little over 6 months

again!

Hope this helps,
