Hello,
I have a 12 year old CP patient currently wearing bilateral
solid ankle AFO's. He is non-ambulatory, but uses a standing frame at
school and home. He has hallux valgus on his right foot, but his 4th and
5th toes deviate medially. The result is that his toes are crowded
together and the 3rd sits under the 2nd. In the past we have used a
strap between the 1st and 2nd toe to address the hallux valgus, but it
does not correct the other overlapping toes. His toes aren't rigid and
correct easily; has anyone had any luck with a device to align the toes
used in conjunction with an AFO's and shoes?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Darrel Templeton CO
