Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 We just got david a new adjustable bar-the next size up. It was a hoot to watch the orthotist fumble with putting the shoes on it, adjusting the degrees, and length. WE did get him to put the shoes on the plates with the buckles on the inside-however, we will tweak the degree setting and the length before we let wear it. Our orthotist did admit david is his only clubfoot patient. We see a doctor in Indy but get our brace/fab in South bend as it saves on the 3 hour car ride.
