News from Parents in Lithuania

[Guest guest]

I was not sure if Jolanta had posted this information about the

expansion of the Ponseti method in Lithuania that she had sent to me

earlier in the week. It includes their Lithuanian Ponseti method

website that has translation into English and Russian. The

following is her message.

We had a very good Ponseti follow-up seminar last weekend. It took

place in Kaunas the second biggest town in Lithuania. The local

doctors who had been practicing Ponseti since 2003 -2004 and who had

participated in the Ponseti seminar last July were able to compare

it with Kite's method and show Dr.Sinclair their results.The seminar

was with real patients and Dr. Sinclair made a brief Ponseti method

presentation for newcomers.

We have been presented with the greatest news the there haven't been

any clubfoot surgeries since the method was started to use at the

biggest orthopedic clinic in Kaunas.

There was also a visiting orthopedic technician form Hamburg who

demonstrated the most recent FAB brace and new shoes. You can see

them at http://www.semeda.de.

The FAB shoes are covered by the insurance here and we have no

problem with that because there are two ortho factories which

produce them or import them. The aim is that we had the most

comfortable shoes and good bars, so there have been talks about the

production of better shoes and braces in Lithuania. The most

important idea which came up during the seminar was the

organization of Ponseti Baltic seminar for Lithuanians Latvians and

Estonians next summer since we have established some contacts in

Estonia too.

And finally, we have our website which can be found at

http://www.sleivapedyste.projektas.lt/

It still nededs some polishing and corrections. I'll try to put the

photos and inforamtion from the last seminar. The lithuanian google

finds it very quickly. I still have a problem with the russian

keywords - google doesn't direct to the website after I enter

" clubfoot " in Russiian.This is quite bad because the aim of this

website is also to infor Russian parents and interested doctors.My

biggest aim and ambition is to bring Ponseti to Russia and Ukraine

and to build up the treatment awareness.

In looking at the Global HELP website recently, I noticed that

Jolanta Kavaliauskiene (a Ponseti method parent from Lithuania)

provided the Russian language translation of the 32 page Ponseti

method booklet. It can be seen at http://www.global-

help.org/publications/cf-russian.pdf

The English Language version of the booklet (and Chinese, Spanish,

Portuguese and Turkish versions) can be found at http://www.global-

help.org/publications/ponseti-cf.html

They are also working on publications into Hindi, Arabic and other

languages.
