Danielle's Foot Splints















During her recent back to hospital, we manage to got the PT to custom made a foot splint for Danielle's feet. This help Danielle maintains the correct alignment of the bones in the foot and ankle. Due to Danielle's low muscle tone, her feet tend to develop " foot drop" - tightening of the foot/ankle muscles- no longer allowing free movement. It helps to slow the progression and allow proper alignment of her feet. With these, she is maintaining neutral position.
