what is the average

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am hoping that someone will answer this question.. What is the average

shoe size difference between the clubfoot and the normal foot?

Thanks in advance.

This is kind of a non-answer but it really varies. My feet are a size

and 1/2 different, but Sammy is in a size 5 and his are so close, if

they are different it is by maybe 5 mm. The global help booklet says

an average of 1.3 cm which is about 1/2 " or 1/2 shoe size.

Hope this helps,

Physically Observable Results after Successful Treatment

The following results show a variation of affects depending on the

severity of each child's condition regardless of treatment with non-

surgical or surgical correction. (Dr. Lehman, chapter 34, Disorders

of the Foot and Ankle, results from 200 feet, 1979-1987) (Ponseti

1980 study)

1. Shoe Size, Shortening of the Affected Foot, from 0-4 cm (average

1.6cm) (Ponseti's 1980 study mean difference was 1.3 cm)

2. Difference between the Width of the Feet, 0-.6 cm (average 0.3cm)

(Ponseti's 1980 study mean difference was 0.4 cm)

3. Difference in Circumference of the Calves, 0-5.5 cm (average 2.5

cm) (Ponseti's 1980 study mean difference was 2.3 cm)

4. Leg-Length Difference, 0-5cm (average 0.6cm) (Ponseti's 1980 study

had no difference)
