Dear listers:

I am seeking research on the practice of PTs placing orthotics and
prosthetics on legs/feet of toddlers and preschoolers with visual
impairment. I have not been able to find anything - am I looking in the
wrong place??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Grace ... Looking at your original question ... you did not mean to include
prosthetics there, did you? Those would only be used if a limb is missing!

I can only think orthotics would be used if there is a need for them for
tone, or misalignments in the feet or ankles.
