Re: Degree of rotation on s

Ours are at 60 degrees, too...came that way. I believe that is standard for the

s. I have not touched them.

Degree of rotation on s

Okay, I know this is a stupid question, but I am doubting myself...

When 's s came a few weeks ago, they were sent to our

house, FED-EX, already set up. I took it for granted that they were

already set up exactly as they should be...She has been in them for a

few weeks, and no problems. I noticed tonight that the little mark on

the bottom was at 60 degrees (for both shoes). Shouldn't they both be

at 70 degrees? Far be it form me to question how sets them

up...but, I went ahead and changed the rotation to 70 (had to move the

screw from the top hole to the bottom to do it), and she doesn't seem

to be phased by it...Should I put them back where he had it, or just

leave it (especially since she isn't bothered by it)?

Our are 60, but only because Gabe fought with Ponseti during his last casting.

Gabe couldn't tolerate 70 degrees, but Ponseti told me that 70 degrees would

have been optimal. If she's ok with 70 degrees, I'd go ahead and keep them

there.

For some reason (I forget the reason, so sorry) Dr. Ponseti sets the s

at 60 degrees. I think now, just automatically sets them up that way from

the beginning. If you are unsure though, email Dr. Ponseti to verify where the

shoes should be. Also, every child is different. My daughters have been

reduced to 50 degrees on both feet. She also wears the s.

HTH.

Dr. Ponseti told us they were to be rotated at 60 degrees, so that's

where we've left them. But like another post said, every baby is

different. I would email him to double check.

My son has LCF and his shoes are set at 70 degrees for the left foot

and 40 degrees for the right.

I'd definitely email Dr. Ponseti. Like the others said, every child

is different, so it's best to confirm with the Dr. regarding your

child.

Our s are set at 70 degrees for the right foot (RCF) and 20

degrees on the left. I had to put the shoes together myself since

this is 's second pair. If you have to reset them, it looks

like you're already a pro!
