The Dobbs Bar: A Revolution in Clubfoot Treatment
February 01, 2009
Matthew Dobbs, MD, designed this new
dynamic clubfoot bar to allow active movement,
preserve muscle strength in the foot and ankle, and be less
restrictive to the child than traditional fixed bars. Children
using the Dobbs Bar can crawl and kick their legs
independently.
Children will sleep better because they can get comfortable in the
Dobbs Bar, and heel blisters
commonly associated with fixed bars are no longer a problem. The
Dobbs Bar is available in two sizes, small (6 to 9
in.) and regular (8 to 14 in.). The bar is adjustable through each
size range to accomodate growth. The foot plates are universal and
can be attached to shoes and AFOs. The results are better
compliance, a more active child, and happier parents.
