Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Does she have atypical (sorry, I can't remember) and also what shoes is she wearing. This makes a big difference because the design of the s is such that 60* is equivilent to 70* in the Markells. Also, Dr P does angle by look and " feel " for some feet so not all the kids who see him are set at the same degree. A newer thing he does for unilateral cf is to set the non-cf at 20* rather than the 40* he used to use. My guess is he will deal with the angle based on what he sees in each foot. As for Kai ... His shoes were originally 70/40 (they were Markells) and after we saw Dr P they were 55/20 (still Markells). After the third set of casting we got the s (we missed getting these in Iowa by about 2 weeks) and they were set 60/20 for a while, but the outside crease began to re-appear so we set them down to 55/20. Crease disappeared and all was well for some time. We may set them back up to 60* after getting new shoes (after Kai comes out of casts again) and see how it goes.
