Hello all. I have a five year boy who has rett's syndrome and external tibial torsion bilaterallly. The doc has prescribed wheaton's KAFOS but the problem is that the boy is too large and too old for this type of brace. I haven't had much experience with them but I'm thinking of twister cables combined with AFOs. He also has pes valgus at ankle and has some dorsi flexion weakness. My other idea is bil KAFOs for night with locked joints at 90 flexion, so they mimick with the wheaton does. My question is how effective and can the twisters be worn at night? Any other ideas for torsion braces? Thank you in advance.
