The Bangla Brace

Bracing is critical to the success of treatment. The children wear a brace for a month full time after the casting is completed. They then wear the brace at night time for 2-3 years.

The children return for regular check ups and to be fitted for new braces as their feet grow.

The braces are manufactured in Jessore, Bangladesh for under $5 each and are free of cost to children at Walk for Life clinics.

The braces are similar to the Steenbeek brace produced for the Ugandan Club Foot project. Muzira David from Uganda supplied our jigs and came to Jessore for the initial training.
