Re: how to get an adjustable bar

[Guest guest]

Bess,

The information is at the ponseti_links site if you click on

Hall's FAB information. It has the manufacturer information

(Fillauer) and model number etc. See if your orthotics shop will

order one for you using this information...otherwise maybe you can

buy it directly from Fillauer, or from the U of Iowa's orthotics

place, American Prosthetics and Orthotics.

Get your doctor to write you a prescription for the fillauer red

adjustable bar and then bring it to your orthotics place and ask them

to order it in for you - they can order it from Markell (same place

as the shoes). Make sure that they get you the 'large' adjustable

bar that bolts onto the shoes (there is a brace that 'clips' onto the

sides of the shoes but it doesn't work as well because there isn't

really enough of a 'lip' on the new style shoes).

Hope this helps,
