    Re: clubfoot and milestone delay due to fits

    Thank you for your reply. Can you please tell me if i could make her stand on her feet inspite of her club feet? or should weight bearing be avoided till she undergoes surgery for it? Will weight bearing on club feet increase her foot condition. Is it ok to take a mould of her feet and prepare shoes for her for weight bearing alone until she undergoes surgery.

    It depends upon the nature of deformity. It there are no marked structural changes and condition is favourable to respond to stretching, ROM exercises, strengthening exercises and splinting, the you may chose shoes or splints for foot correction along with other measures as I have mentioned. If structural changes are marked, you have an option to let the child for having surgery for feet correction.

    HI FRIENDS,I had sent a letter to the childs orthopaedic surgeon and he had advised for surgery immediately as her seizures have stopped a few days back and asked not to give weight bearing exercises for her feet.
