Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine the use of a novel customized Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO), created using 3D scanning, with children being treated for clubfoot. The AFO is inserted in the standard Mitchell shoe during bracing, following Ponseti casting. The investigators hypothesize that following Ponseti casting, the implementation of customized AFOs with Ponseti bracing will improve patient compliance and functional outcomes as well as lead to fewer relapses in comparison to the standard bracing with Mitchell shoes.
