Hello everyone, I am new to this group, I am new to Clubfoot, I have a 3 month old daughter with bilateral clubfeet, We have just finished the casting and are now in the FAB stage, We are using the Ponseti FAB, She has been wearing it for a week, I am finding it very hard to know what the right tightness is, I find one setting is not tight enough and her heal is rising up and the other is to tight and is leaving her foot red and puffy. HELP!!!! Is there anyone else who has struggled with this and what did you do, how much movement is ok?

Thanks

Hi and welcome!!  Have you tried a thicker sock?  If it is really problematic you can order some "pringles" from MD Orthopedics.  They are an insert that goes under the straps.

Thicker socks will help, but like the person above me, I love pringles. They make all the difference in the world. There's a lot to be said for extra padding!!
