Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 OK, I have a question for the parents of those who were older when beginning the DBB wear. AFter your initial full time period, what length of time were you reduced to? I know what the standard protocol for Ponseti treatment is but I have seen that when the babies are older (i.e. over 1 year) that protocol is not always followed. So I just want to know what length of time you went to after the 23/7 period. Thanks, Jenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 We have observed that after three months of full time brace wear, night and naptime for a total of 16-18 hours are sufficient to prevent a relapse. Once the child is walking about 12-14 hours is adequate. I see no reason to have the child wear the brace 23 hours a day until she is crawling. Straight last shoes are usually more comfortable and are adequate to maintain the correction. Reverse last shoes are not necessary.
