Hi June,

Dorsiflexion should be at 10° to 15° but Dr. Ponseti said that even at 5°

the foot functions fine. When we were in Iowa last he and Dr. Morcuende said

that even at 0° they prefer not to intervene. Part of the reason being that

after age 6 children's skeletal growth slows down which allows the heel

cord to catch up.

Dorsiflexion Question?

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering...what is the guideline or degree dorsiflexed a

corrected clubfoot should be? I don't remember from my research

long ago. Shane recently saw his doc who did x-rays. his good foot

has amazing dorsiflexion , but his clubfoot is not as good and I was

wondering at what degree angle it sholud be.

Thank for the help in advance.
