Re: overcorrection question

[Guest guest]

With Everett, he's 18 mo. old this month - wearing a 60* shoe 14 hours a

day...when he walks his feet are probably at about 50 or slightly less? Not

quite straight ahead, but not at the full rotation, either. He walks really

well though. Dr. Ponseti reduced himf rom 70* several months ago but I " m not

entirely sure why. This is probably no help to you but a point of comparrison

maybe?

overcorrection question

Since we've been talking about overcorrection lately, I would like to ask

question. I understand from previous posts and conversations that the foot

usually looks like it is pointing outward when they don't have the shoes and

it would eventually straighten out over time. My son's feet are pretty

straight right now. Is the straightening out something that happens this

quickly or does it take months or years? Now you know my next question is

going to be, if it isn't supposed to be this straight already do I need to

be concerned about a relapse?

It does help...thank you. I believe that what I was looking for was exactly

what you said about Everett. His feet aren't still in the 60 degree outward

position that they are when they are in the shoes.
