New Braces

Since Aaron began standing, his ankles have turned inward. The physical therapist has hesitated to put him into braces until now. He got them this week and has adjusted very well.

This gives a sense of how his feet are positioned without support.



These are the braces. They are technically called supra-malleolar orthosis (SMO's). They fit inside his shoes.

Finally, the finished product. With his shoes on, they are not terribly noticeable.
