Re: Denis Browne bar - Dobbs Brace

[Guest guest]

Yes, as far as I know, that would be the " Dobbs Brace " . There are few

here whose children are using the Dobbs brace. I'm sure that someone

will pipe up soon and give you his contact info!

Dobbs has been treating our son, and we just had our shoe fitting

today. There is a new brace that is proven by Dobbs to work and

they have been perfecting the shoe for comfort. The shoe is not a

traditional shoe, but sort of like a skiboot liner. The brace allows

them to kick their feet. We will not have any first hand experience

with this new brace until mid May. But I would imagine that others

on this board have.....

Hope this helps.

I just learnt something new! I have read some posts mentioning the Dobbs brace

and thought it was just another brace similar to the DBB, but never knew it was

hinged. Doh, I have even seen the pictures of them come to think of it. Can't

believe I have been in la la land all this time.

I want to start a campaign on here to eliminate the term DBB in favor of

FAB....I keep thinking of Denis Brown's treatment plan and hate having that

associated with the good Dr. Ponseti!

Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. If you would like to contact him

for further information, he would be happy to speak with you. You

my daughter grace uses the " skiboot liner " that you are talking about... it is

GREAT... i am sure everyone is sick of hearing my praises about it... lol... but

it really is an ingenious design... grace actually " helped " me put them on this

weekend... handing me the parts and trying to tighten the straps... she's such a

helper... lol... but i think the design at shriners isn't hinged... i may be

wrong.. but that's what i was understanding... they are constantly taking

feedback and making changes and updating things.. i made a comment of some marks

on her foot and after he looked at it and studied it he made the changes to

correct the problem right then and there... no questions asked.. so they are

wonderful people and i am sooooo glad i made the change in doctors.. and soooo

glad it wasn't too late when i did...
