Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 - Robby is a cute guy!! Thanks for sharing the pictures. My only thought-double check the lengthe of his bar-it seems to me from the pictures that it might be too narrow. Kori just came up with a quick and easy way to check-lay robby flat on top of the bar and see if he can fit between the " heel to heel " . I am glad that he is a happier baby! take care, kathleen mom to david bcf fab 12/7 > > Hi everyone, > > First I wd to thank you all for your words of encouragement and > support.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 , I agree with Kathleen, in those pictures, the brace looks like the shoe/afo are way too close together for Robby. We had the adjustable length red bar from Fillauer and it was easier to keep up with the length adjustments necessary as grew. I would definitely question the set up of this brace if I were you. There is information on how to set it up under the bracing section on this group's website or at http://members.tripod.com/ponseti_links-ivil Please let us know if you have any questions, or if your doctor/orthotist won't cooperate with getting you a longer bar and we'll see if we can help! > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > First I wd to thank you all for your words of encouragement and > > support.
