different splints. Muscles

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody!

My little one is 3 month old and after a serie of casts she has

splints fitted.They are plastic custom made and are looking as open

front boots mid hip high on three velcro each.Have you ever come

across the ones like this ? May be you have an idea why there is no

bar joining the legs in this design?

And do you have an idea what can be done to prevent muscle wastage? I

was told it was anavoidable. Thanks.
