Based on the responses I've received so far (thank you!) I now realize I
could have been more clear with my inquiry. Here is the new and improved...
Do any of you have published or experiential evidence supporting or
opposing *pediatric* KAFO management of genu varum or valgum caused by any
type of rickets? Most sources I reviewed only suggest medication/surgery
as treatment and those that mention orthotic
management are non-specific and lacked evidence. We as orthotists can
justify orthotic treatment on the basis of biomechanics, but for the
purpose of convincing a doctor I am seeking documented support.
Thank you for your help.
