Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hi! My DS just received his Dr. Dobb's Brace. This is his second set. The first brace was the original design (4 straps, all white, etc.). We now have the updated brace (very nice I must say...only 3 straps, cute design and cushion around the bar). The AFO part is about 1 1/2 inches longer than the top of the toes. His old brace fit him perfectly. I don't know if this is suppose to allow room to grow or what. My mom had taken my DS to get his brace on Friday or I would have asked about this. The AFO seems to fit OK otherwise but it's so long. I'm just worried that this might be an issue and maybe O & P was scared to send it back because they had already had to send back another set that was too small earlier this week. Thanks -2 yrs. old today!----DB-14 hours/day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 grace's brace was very long past the toes also... not so much anymore because she's had it for a few months... but it is for growing room... they will heat the plastic part up to stretch the sides out if needed on appts... grace has had to have hers adjusted outward around the ankle because of growth... but the length should be fine until the toes curl over the edge... hth... mommy to Grace 12-03-03 BCF Dobb's Brace 14/7 --- jaymz3372 wrote: > Hi! > My DS just received his Dr. Dobb's Brace.
