Trying Something New

Matthew had physio today. I told Steve that I was sure that Matthew's talus was protruding again. I even brought the pictures from last year to compare. He agreed, it had to be the talus.

I told him this is the pattern. His foot starts to supinate, the talus comes out, dorsiflexion decreases and it goes down hill from there.

Steve feels his dorsiflexion is still really good right now but after some thought asked if we could try taping to keep his foot pronated and keep his talus in proper position.

So, here we go... taping.

Btw, the green was added by Steve, seeing it is Matthew's favorite color.


This taping stays on for 2-3 days, then we go back in for a change of tape. We are going to try to keep this up until we go to St. Louis in 12 days. See what Dr. Dobbs thinks about it.

I'm not convinced this is will help, but it can't hurt. And right now, I am game for anything.
