Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Joyce, The brace shown on the link for the German company posted, looks similar to the Markell shoes (www.markellshoe.com), the principle of the P/M shoes is similar (www.mdortopaedics.com). What I swa on the Duthc website (www.klompvoet.nl under uitgaven, latest nieuwsbrief) is something that looks totally different. People on this list may be familiar with it? It looks like a plastic knee-high boot with a soft material on the inside and four Velcro straps. I do not see a bar. Maybe you can ask your doctor for a picture or example of the brace he has in mind? Corina Re: Luke Dear Naomi, I want to thank you so much for writing me back with so much helpful info. My husband and I are already to go see Dr Ponseti. With or with out coverage. Dr Ponseti told my husband he might be able to fix his feet in 2 weeks. I am sure we will need more follow up when we get home. Probably then we will be seeing one of the doctors that is certified around us. We feel that Dr ponseti is the best. At least, that is all we here about. We have been calling him Dr Hollywood these past couple days. He is so popular. Do you believe he talked to us from his home over the phone. I was wondering about your experience with clubfoot? How did things turn out? Is your son still wearing braces or what is he wearing? I sure hope all the best for your family. You are so sweet to give me so much good info. Thank you. Dana Luke's mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Corina, I saw that picture too, I assumed it was for surgically treated feet, since surgery is the main method of treatment in NL. I think those are similar to the AFO's, aren't they? Hopefully they won't use the same brace for Ponseti treated feet since that won't work. with (3.5y) and Alister (3.5y, right CF, Ponseti method, UK) --- c.v.as@... wrote: > Hi Joyce, > > The brace shown on the link for the German company > posted, looks similar to the Markell shoes > (www.markellshoe.com), the principle of the P/M > shoes is similar (www.mdortopaedics.com).
