ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic assembly for the treatment of congenital and acquired deformities in children's legs or feet that provide for continuous adjustment of the child's shoes to the assembly, and are readily removable. The assembly comprises a pair of plate members each substantially larger than a child's shoe, a bar for attaching the plate members together and VELCRO fasteners between the bottoms of the child's shoes and the plate members. A tab is provided on each of the shoe bottoms to facilitate release of the fasteners on the shoe bottoms and plate members. Indicia preferably are provided on the plate members to indicate relative orientations that the shoes may assume with respect to the plate members.
