“Having CP down the left side of my body means my muscles can get extremely tight, especially in my left leg, which then affects my walking. The multi use boot, although it looks a bit strange does a brilliant job! I got it through my physiotherapist to help stretch my calf muscle. I don’t have much control over the muscles in my leg so keeping it in a still, fixed position is hard. The boot keeps my ankle and low leg in the correct position while it is being stretched.”
“The multi boot is light and very comfortable; I tend to wear it while watching TV, using the programs as my timer!” Louise Coleman
