Dandy-Walker Syndrome - SAFO's

RX: Bilateral Solid Ankle AFO’s

DIAGNOSIS: Dandy-Walker Syndrome

HISTORY: Patient is an 8 ½ year old male with no allergies. He has had brain surgery along with multiple shunts. He walks with minimal assistance. He receives PT 3x weekly, and he has worn SMO’s in the past.

ASSESSMENT: The patient is a moderate pronator bilaterally with normal tone. His calcaneus is everted and his forefoot is abducted. These abnormalities were corrected as much as possible during the casting procedure. Our orthotic goal is to maintain the ML plane at the ankle as well as stabilize standing.

PLAN: Fabricate bilateral SAFO’s
