Recently a 5yo boy was referred to my clinic from the Gp, with diagnoses of ‘club foot, worse in the left’ (according to the GP) In the past two months this child has developed significant tripping problem, with wearing out of the dorsal areas of the toe box of shoes. Examined, walking and running, shod and unshod there is dragging of the dorsal digits along the ground in swing, significant calc eversion from strike to heel off and some intoeing, left worst than right. As a trial, i placed the child in a blake inverted device, which produced immediate relief of all toe dragging, and tripping.
