Yesterday little missy was fitted for bilateral MAFOs (molded ankle-foot orthosis).  These leg braces will be worn once a day for one to two hours. Their 2 fold design is to maintain leg support when she practices standing,  then  allow her ankle and foot to stretch into a 90 degree angle. For now we see the braces as a preventative measure where we are able to manipulate her ankle and foot into a 90 degree angle and don't see any other correctional needs at this time. We are so grateful for the knowledgeable team of professionals  who provide us with the resources we need to best meet Parker's needs.
