Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I just picked Livie up from daycare and her brace came apart today! The screw on the bottom of the shoe came loose and she (being almost three) took it completely out. I have all of the parts (bar shoe and screw), so I can easily reassemble it and tighten it back down, but it was on her clubfoot side and I have no idea how to tell if it's set at 70 degrees of external rotation. She has the red adjustable bar from Iowa with the Markell shoes. I see the degree markings on the bottom of the plate, but I don't know what to compare them to, to make sure that it is set right. Anybody have any ideas?? It had a marker line on it when we got it, which I thought at the time was a wonderful idea in case anything like this ever happened, but that was months ago and I failed to notice that it has completely rubbed off! Remember that she is still in it 16 hours a day after a relapse, so I don't want to set it to low and have her start to relapse again. I suppose if I set it too far, she'll be uncomfortable. We're not scheduled to go back to Iowa until November and I know of no one around here that would be able to do it for me. I don't know what to do and I'm starting to panic!!
