Miller has provided an excellent introduction to clubfoot for the concerned parent. It will also serve as an introduction to anyone who is simply curious about the condition.
The most important point for the parents of the newly-diagnosed is that clubfoot can usually be corrected with only minor surgery. Braces must be worn for years, however, although often only at night. Full recovery is the usual result; Miller lists several famous athletes who were born with clubfoot.
Don’t panic! A diagnosis of clubfoot does not mean that your child will be a “cripple”. Read this book for the facts. ( )

I previously read the author's other book, "The Parents' Guide to Hip Dysplasia," so I was also very interested to read this one. As I mentioned in my other review, I am a nursing student and enjoy reading these types of books so that I can have a deeper understanding of the causes and treatments. This one interested me a great deal because I myself had to wear casts when I was younger, though I have no recollection of it. I think that this book will prove to be an extremely valuable resource for parents who have a child with clubfoot. The author goes to great lengths to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand. I also like the resources that she provides so that parents will have a plethora of information already found for them; all they have to do is go to whatever website that they find interesting from the list. A must read for anyone who has a child with clubfoot. ( )

This book is wonderful! It is very easy-to-read and the pictures and diagrams truly help the reader understand exactly what the author is explaining. The personal stories and photos of families and children affected by clubfoot throughout the book was a very nice touch and, I think, would help calm down a parent who was recently told that their child had a clubfoot because they could see that they were not alone and that the problem could be solved.

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about clubfoot or who has a child who has it. ( )

This is a great guide for parents. It explains the Ponseti method of treatment and goes through each step in the process. The book describes the health care personell whom are invoved in the treatment process, and clearly explains what each person does.

Throughout the book, there are anecdotes from parents who have had a child with clubfoot. It is reassuring to read what other parents have done and their suggestions and supportive comments.

The book gives lots of helpful hints on all aspects of caring for a child being treated for clubfoot: from diaper changes to playing. It gives a good description of the braces that are used and how they work, as well as information about the types available and where to get them.

There are also support groups listed. It is a very complete resource for parents of children being treated with the Ponseti method for clubfoot.

Easy to read and understand guide for parents. Gives details without being overly technical. Quick guide that can be read in a short span of time but gives references for further information. Great book about a topic I have personal experience with.
