[quote=Anonymous]My DH and his identical twin wore night braces as babies and toddlers because their left legs/hips rotated inward much more severely than is normal. This was ~1970. Neither boy had physical therapy, just the braces. As adults, they are both still pigeon-toed on the left. (here comes the reason why I'm posting ....) As adults, they both trip over their own foot and fall more than you would expect from a sober 40 yo. Like, during tennis or walking up stairs. Each one has tripped and broken a leg at some point in his life. A pigeon-toed PP said she was clumsy and I guess this is how I'd describe DH and his twin. There is an excellent chance that loads of PT and maybe even surgery would not have helped, no one can say. But, if OP has a chance to do ongoing PT through the years, I'd say, take that opportunity.[/quote]
