Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Ok so I looked in the files section and found a doc. on the Dobb's stretches. Is that it? Just the two listed there, the dorsiflection one and the range of motion stretch. That seems pretty easy, I think I will do this a couple of times a day with Grace. I have been a bit leery of doing stretches because our doctor had told us that they wern't necessary in keeping with dr. Ponseti I guess but if they have been shown to help and don't cause any harm then I am gonna give it a try. I will talk to Dr. Pirani about this study and Dr. Ponseti's approval at our next appt.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Ya - this whole subject makes me feel slightly uneasy. We keep preaching against dr's who modify the method, or in this case it is elloquently refered to as " enhancing " the method and this is creeping in to sounding like the whole Dr. H ordeal where a prince begins reverting back to frog-hood with his enhancments. The first obvious thing to hit my skeptical mind was that Dobbs invented this new brace - and Dobbs prescribes parents to stretch the foot when not in the brace...Soooooo is the brace not doing everything it should? Just midnight questions, gotta get to bed. s. Re: / Dobbs Stretching Ok so I looked in the files section and found a doc. on the Dobb's stretches. Is that it?
