What exactly is dorsiflexion?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I hope all is well with each and every one of you and your little

ones.

Can anyone explain to me what dorsiflexion is and what

determines " good " dorsiflexion? We're about 2-3 casts away from the

tenotomy (if it is deemed necessary) and I just like to be ahead of

the game in being educated on what the doctors are diagnosing. -

J'nee's feet were very flexible from birth and become more so with

every casting. So, I'm kinda hoping we won't have to do the tenotomy

and can go right into the bracing. But, this, of course, will be left

up to our doctor's expert prognosis.

Thanks in advance!
