The Ponseti® AFO Toe Stilt is a dual purpose AFO designed to support the Ponseti method of treating clubfoot. The Toe Stilt Sandals can be worn attached to the Ponseti® Bar in accordance with the standard Ponseti bracing protocol. They can also be worn for short periods outside of regular bracing times in order to help the patient maintain good dorsiflexion by stretching the Achilles tendon and helping to keep the foot flexible. This is achieved by the placement of a wedge underneath the toe section of the sandal. This has the effect of the feet always being in a dorsiflexed position of 10 degrees when standing. The patient must be able to stand and walk in order for the Toe Stilt AFO to be beneficial.
Available in size 2 - size 8 sandals.
The sandals are available in a range of sizes – see size chart. They can be ordered in split sizes where necessary.
The sandals must be worn with good fitting socks to prevent any sores or blisters. For ease of use the sandals are supplied with the buckles on the inside.
Parents of infants born with clubfeet may be reassured that their baby, if otherwise normal, when treated by expert hands will have normal looking feet with normal function for all practical purposes. The well-treated clubfoot is no handicap and is fully compatible with a normal, active life.
