Feet Reinforcements


Foot Braces - To support her inward-bending feet so they can
develop more normally. The orthotist says the shoes are less important now
as the AFOs are providing the all-round support for the feet.





























































































































Standing Time - I left her for a split second to take this shot.
She still needs to be held at the pelvis.

Taking a break - "I'm tired! Mommy is working me so hard..."
Her head control has improved and she can sit in her armchair by herself!

Does Vera have the SMO over her AFO? looks like 2 layers. Or is it an AFO with hinge?

Yes, it's an AFO with additional piece for strapping. It's from DAFO. Took ttsh quite some time to get it into sg, but we like it cos it's flexible and easy to wear : )
