My son who has to wear AFO's has started curling his toes while standing. With or without the AFO's. It almost seems like a balance issue.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Does he need new AFO's? Are they too tight or too short for him? Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Asenath and Porrah both do that. It can be an issue of tightness. Kids that have two tight of leg muscles often curl their toes. They often clench/fist their hands when tight as well. Does your child have tight muscles ever, even if it comes and goes, or have you noticed him getting tighter feeling? Asenath wears the DAFO's also. Porrah doesn't (she's only 3 months) but both have this issue often. Darla: mommy to Asenath, Zipporrah, and the gang Toe Curling????

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Tamara, My son Lucas curls his toes. We had the orthotist put in a soft toe pad on each one. he was actually getting blisters from doing it. It took care of the blisters and he was able to walk without difficulty. Loriann P.S. Sorry this is a late post. Just getting caught up after Lucas was in the hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
