Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 How often have you had to lengthen the dbb to match the width of their shoulders. I haven't changed it in a couple of months, but he seems pretty comfortable or at least happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm assuming that would depend on how fast your child is growing. Aidan has been wearing the shoes since December and we've had it lengthened twice and about to have it moved again. mfolkemer_1999 mlfsmith@...> wrote:How often have you had to lengthen the dbb to match the width of their shoulders.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Agreed, it is all in how fast they grow. The width of the bar should be about the same as his shoulders. If he seems comfortable and you measure it occasionally to be sure it is not getting too narrow I'm sure it is fine. We have also lengthened our bar twice since Dec. but it doesn't look like he will need it longer again for a while. How often have you had to lengthen the dbb to match the width of their > shoulders.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 it really does differ with each child... grace has had her FAB for 6 weeks and has had it adjusted twice... but she went through a growth spurt also... if you are using the markell shoes, you can really tell because their ankles will kind of spill out over the edge... at least they did with grace.. and it became uncomfortable for her.. and it kind of looked funny too... they measure the inside edge of the heel to the shoulders i think... mommy to Grace 12-03-03 BCF Dobb's Brace16/7 Hundley jenhundley@...> wrote: I'm assuming that would depend on how fast your child is growing.
