Severity vs. relapse

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to chime in that Dr. Morcuende told me in March that they

have not found any relationship between severity at birth and the

risk of relapse (at any age). Therefore, despite a child's foot

being " mild " or " severe " at birth, the risk of relapse is present

until they're past that 6 year old age (per my earlier post about the

frequencies). It probably won't help most of our children, but I'm

sure they're doing the medical studies and will have some answers

(hopefully) in a few years' time. I believe that they used to think

that " mild " feet were less prone to relapse, but some recent cases of

3-4 year olds with sudden and severe relapse have changed that

thinking. I hope that the importance of bracing past age 3 will be

taken seriously by all the doctors using the method.
