Orthopedic shoes instead of braces/walking standing frame

Post a new topicby ablegaitor on Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:34 pm

I have a son with Cerebral Palsy. As a parent of a child with special needs I know how hard it is to find resources when you do not know where to start and what to look for. I would like to inform you of a unique collection of attractive orthopedic footwear created to meet the needs of children affected by Cerebral Palsy. Designed by an orthopedic doctor the Komfo Active shoes can be used as an alternative to braces. They are the best option for children unable to wear orthotics The Memo collection has been designed as diagnostic and corrective footwear for children. Please visit web site www.ablegaitor.com for more information.
Another unique product is the “walking standing frame” which allows people with SCI up to C5 level, Spina Bifida, MS and Cerebral Palsy walk independently. Please click on the link to watch a video. http://walkwithparalysis.blogspot.com/

My grandson is 6 and has CP. he has lots of tone in his legs, his feet turn inward, and a left sub-luxed hip. it doesn't seem that any of the orthotics have helped at all. any suggestions for these problems. he also has a bad sicssor gait.
