Have no idea if that's spelt correctly and to be honest am gutted at the moment. Have today been to physio and been told that ds, 3 next month, needs to be fitted with 2 daffo splints for feet and one affo type for left foot only.
It took me by surprise as previously we'd been told it was very unlikely he'd need them as he was walking so well, despite his mild left hemi.
I now have a million questions mainly relating to how do children accept these on them? Do they really help that much as he seemed to be coping ok. Do you wear 'normal' shoes over them? How long are they worn for? Is it ok for him to wear it at nursery? sorry to be a pain but any advice greatfully recvd. thanks
