She at first resented the AFO s but soon saw how " normal " looking she was able to walk. She uses to have a " flamingo-walk " they say " steppage gait " for medical terms. She does not have to do that with her AFO's. She conceals them as best she can with pants and long skirts. She suffers in warm weather with the longer pants but it is her choice and that does give her some control. I am afraid she was tripping so much without them, we truly feared for her safety. Good luck with a tough situation but now is a situation that she knows is for her well being. At first, people ask her if she broke her leg, etc. a >> Spencer tells me he can skate board with his AFOS on. Thats a big deal to a 11 year old..
