Re: Brace wrong instructions??!!

[Guest guest]

YES! needs to fix that! His " Ponseti " brace instructions go against the

Ponseti Protocol! Oh Jooooooohhhhhnnnnnnn!!!!!!!! Heads up man!

s.

ok, what's even funnier is that I didn't actually see that it said 70

degrees. The guy at the orthotics shop told me it said that and he

kept the literature from . So I'm looking here at the paper that

came with Darbi's new shoes (arrived last week) and it says

absolutely nothing about the degree of abduction whatsoever. It DOES

however say that the brace is worn full time for 3 mo's and after

that only at nights and naps.

Ummmm.... anyone other than me think needs to change that

little bit of information? This is the new pamphlet that comes with

the shoes that says it's a Ponseti AFO.
