Hi Ken, I've just watched your video and I cant see any significant difference. I live with CP, went to school with other CP kids and know your gait well. The only thing I noticed abt the post-op segment apart from the brevity of it was that you were bare foot! not a fair like-for-like comparisson as your shoes were, I assume, supporting your feet.
I don't know how anyone cannot see an improvement. I too have CP and the change was dramatic! Better posture, better heel/toe strike, and his hips aren't moving his legs. Watch the difference in the hips. Major change. That change will help reduce joint wear on the hips as well as the knees.
Hi Ken. I can see a good difference between the "before" and "after" videos. However, this was 5 years ago... How have things evolved since then? Sincerely, Isabelle
