"I am a nursing student and enjoy reading these types of books so
that I can have a deeper understanding of the causes and
treatments. This one interested me a great deal because I myself
had to wear casts when I was younger, though I have no recollection
of it. The author goes to great lengths to explain everything in a
way that is easy to understand. I also like the resources that she
provides so that parents will have a plethora of information
already found for them; all they have to do is go to whatever
website that they find interesting from the list. A must read for
anyone who has a child with clubfoot."
- Sealford, LibraryThing Reviewer "This is a great guide for
parents. It explains the Ponseti method of treatment and goes
through each step in the process. The book describes the health
care personell whom are invoved in the treatment process, and
clearly explains what each person does. The book gives lots of
helpful hints on all aspects of caring for a child being treated
for clubfoot: from diaper changes to playing. It gives a good
description of the braces that are used and how they work, as well
as information about the types available and where to get
them."
