From the Back Cover: The Steenbeek Foot Abduction Brace (SFAB) is a device to maintain the extreme foot abduction (70 degrees) in children with treated clubfeet. The SFAB forms an integral part of the Ponseti Method of Clubfoot treatment, which targets new-born babies with Clubfeet.
Correction of the Clubfoot is achieved by applying serial casts of p.o.p., in combination with a minor surgical procedure (percutaneous tendo achilles tenotomy for 90% of the babies) under local anaesthesia. The SFAB is necessary to maintain this correction.
Originally printed in 2004, "Steenbeek Brace For Clubfoot" was updated in 2006, with the 2nd Edition in 2009, and now the 3rd Edition in 2025.
