Hey everyone
I have a 10 yr old boy with CP. He is 125 lbs and
displays with severe IRD. I made some DAFO like solid
ankle afo's but there is so much tone in the hip which
is externally rotated. I was thinking about trying a
spiralling elastic webbing like belt to help but there
maybe too much tone and it may not be enough. Is
there any possible solutions using just a bilateral
hip orhtosis and if so what have you used with good
success. The AFO's corrected foot but they still look
like they are toed out about 90 degrees thus giving
him too much pressure on the medial malleolus.
Thanks in advance
