Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ok, its official, I hate the Markells! I have seen semi sucessful on keeping them on her feet, BUT I can not keep her heel all the ways down! I even cut a hole in the back to see how it looked! I have them @ 45degrees on the mormal foot, and 35degrees on the CF. I know, that sounds funny, but the Dr. didnt correctly abduct it, so it wont go to 70degrees. So Dr. Ponseti said to set it between 35 & 40degrees to keep what correction she has. She has A-Typical CF. ANY SUGGESTIONS HERE? The only way Ive found to keep her heel down is to sinch that strap down TIGHT, and it cuts the circulation off and turms her foot purple! Yes, when Kori did it too! So that isnt an option. Any othe rsuggestions? Maybe put padding on the top of her foot to push it down or something? HELP PLEASE........ __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
