Customized Orthosis for Children With Clubfoot Following Ponseti Casting
This study will examine the use of a novel customized Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO), created
using 3D scanning, with children being treated for clubfoot. The AFO is inserted in the
standard Mitchell shoe during bracing, following Ponseti casting. The investigators
hypothesize that following Ponseti casting, the implementation of customized AFOs with
Ponseti bracing will improve patient compliance and functional outcomes as well as lead to
fewer relapses in comparison to the standard bracing with Mitchell shoes.
