About MeThis rather gentle looking treatment for clubfoot (basically strapping-splinting) is a stark contrast to the more brutal treatments which have been used in the past. Some 19th and 20th century devices were designed to apply large mechanical-twisting forces to the disabled foot thereby wrenching it back to a more normal position. This padded example was used as a teaching aid at Foresterhill College.
