He stopped wearing them after a few weeks, because they caused more difficulties than not having them. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492649968147186399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-82362405106768824862012-07-12T09:06:18.373-05:002012-07-12T09:06:18.373-05:00I would ask about a DRAFO, its to help with heel s...I would ask about a DRAFO, its to help with heel strike-the next step in Alina's bracing is a DRAFO on her right foot and an SMO on her left foot. <br /><br />She walks better without the AFO's too, but her feet don't hit the ground right and that in the long run causes problems. Angela has to relearn how to strike her foot to the ground properly so she's walking terrible to compensate. It happens every time Alina gets new AFO's, she either stops walking or she walks horribly for a few weeks.<br /><br />I hope you find a solution, its kind of a science experiemtn sometimes. :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016319645102022986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-14470768059656932242012-07-12T07:21:23.269-05:002012-07-12T07:21:23.269-05:00I don't like the AFO's for Srecko either!!...I don't like the AFO's for Srecko either!! He walks better without them!! With his CP and since coming we home we noticed it! We told this to his ortho doctor...he noticed that too!! So now after almost a year of wearing them...now they are looking at hip problems and how to fix them! Surgery was mentioned...So, I am NOT happy with the AFO's and I don't make him wear them all day...half days, I can't stand the thought of my baby having surgery...there better be an alternative!!<br />Sorry to hear about Angela's feet...hope there is a better solution found!!!And patiently waiting...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01514938723717324200noreply@blogger.com
