Re: Getting a new brace red or gold?

[Guest guest]

Happy 2nd birthday, Ridley!!!!!!!

It's good to hear that all has been going well for you, Melitsa!

The advantage to having the red bar is that it's adjustable in

length, so it's easier to keep the child comfortable as they

never " outgrow " it.

If you go to http://pages.ivillage.com/ponseti_links and click on

the bracing section, there's a file you can download from the

orthotics group located at the U of Iowa that has all the

information on ordering the bar (and all the other components too).

You'll want to make sure you are getting the 9-15 " adjustable bar.

You should be able to stay with the open toed Markell shoes.

That document should give you everything you need, you can also get

info off the Fillauer (bar manufacturer) and Markell (shoe

manufacturer) websites directly.
