[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teenager had to be in a boot on and off for almost two years and the physical therapist suggested a shoelift to help even her out and make her gait less clunky. It made a big difference in her mobility and comfort. She still hated the need to rest but when she walked she at least felt less awkward. I found out later that it also helped to avoid some hip issues that are common with people who have to use a boot for extended periods of time. This is what we used: https://a.co/d/eCf7hxu[/quote] I second this! It’s really important to make sure you accommodate for the height difference between legs now with one boot and one not. Find something to even things out or you’ll be making it worse on your body with trying to compensate. [/quote]
