An sent Today at 4:47 AM

The education currently provided in Support is concerning, a concern I already raised with the head of the PIA. But we can only address it with launching full education which is what we are working on


An sent Today at 4:55 AM

The adult group admins says they had too many run ins with cf support they do not want us to provide access. Our adm and other brace groups only allow actual,users doing the therapy not those interested only from the beginning because we did these for the orthotists to follow their outcomes online


An sent Today at 5:02 AM

We do not want replication of these outcomes anywhere else as the CRF already provide these both to the orthotic companies who are present themselves in each brace group we have and we use this data to support research efforts globally.

An sent Today at 5:02 AM

I did approve you for the Oregon group

An sent Today at 5:02 AM

Please do not replicate our efforts anywhere that is a prerequisite to participate in our groups

5:21 AM

You sent Today at 5:21 AM

Ok, I’m super confused…

Why do you own the Oregon group? Is it meant to be a special group for this organization for Oregon? Because it should have a more accurately descriptive name if so. If not, I believe someone from Oregon should be running any general local group.

I’m all kinds of confused over the data thing and the thing about cf support group. What’s the problem? You don’t want people in that group to be in this group?

You can now message and call each other and see info like Active Status and when you've read messages.

An sent Today at 5:26 AM

The state groups all 50 of them and the country groups we have is firstly to provide and collect feedback on what is available in each state with regards to treatment and a support group for our members in those states. It is subgroups of the CRF. We will take anyone who gets treated in that state, but we are not interested in folks that takes data from our groups to publish on their website or store pages or who replicates our intellectual capital from our groups. The data the CRF owns in their groups belongs to the CRF. So far Jill Harold replicates info, the Clubfoot Store took info that did nothing belong to them, and the Doctor review list was intellectual capital taken from the CRF. And although ideas can be taken, the replication of our group polls cannot.

You sent Today at 5:29 AM

Is it very important to keep so private? Idk what kind of intellectual data you even have so I’m trying to understand.

Not sharing info with people who aren’t in your group or members? Is that helpful for most folks?

Honestly I’m really just trying to understand the secrecy. Is sharing information bad?

An sent Today at 5:34 AM

Ok the CRF have 166 groups more or less

An sent Today at 5:34 AM

Most of these groups were created 2013/2014 when we launched the second CRF Closed group

Pretty soon physicians joined us and urged us to become a 501c

An sent Today at 5:34 AM

You sent Today at 5:34 AM

Are you talking about like copyright stuff? People not linking back to your content properly or not attributing properly?

An sent Today at 5:35 AM

Yes I am referring to that, copyright we spelled out in the CRF rules since 2014 basically because the researchers requested those ground rules

An sent Today at 5:35 AM

They might share info that is not published yet

An sent Today at 5:35 AM

I give you three guesses who spat on that

You sent Today at 5:35 AM

See because I’m a web developer and I know the rules. Most people who use website builders like wix and square space haven’t the first clue why the rules are. You can’t just use people’s stuff. Also, google will see that and penalize you.

An sent Today at 5:39 AM

I try my best to always communicate in a respectful way. I don’t think I have ever not cited the literature ever. The PIA says we have the best education out there. But parents don’t believe what we post? Now I find it strange that parents don’t be,urge it since we have lost every bit of literature that exists the past 9 years

He made shoes for clubfoot adults

You sent Today at 5:42 AM

Well I do think it’s time for some focus to change and explore something other than just “does it work over and over again”. But the data we have also excludes non-idiopathic most the time. So that’s something to start focusing on, for sure.

An sent Today at 5:47 AM

Our groups are closed, as we do not expose a members health info to the public upon their requests

An sent Today at 5:47 AM

We asked our members how they wish to participate since some of them are researchers and universities

An sent Today at 5:47 AM

So it is closed groups, not public groups

An sent Today at 5:47 AM

Everything was done in the open and the physicians knows us from the beginning because I brought the concept of under correction to social media first

An sent Today at 5:47 AM

We created the concept of bracing beyond 5 to doctors and social media first due to the growth spurts

An sent Today at 5:47 AM

We posted first about the existence of overseas braces, sourced it and posted it

You sent Today at 5:48 AM

Ah, well the PCOSA… well the founder decided she wanted to move operations to Colorado so myself, the exec director, and two other paid staff stopped doing it. And I was on baby #3 with clubfoot so I didn’t even care. Then I found nosurgery yahoo group and took up helping people with bracing. Long ago, the original original folx.

It was on yahoo groups. It was an email list. Idk your age but in the 90’s support was via email only. Or bulletin boards. Amd forums finally came around, then yahoo took up the trend and made the first iteration of “groups” . But it still functioned like a listserve up till end of last year when they turned that off. I was still getting emails now and again for a while. I sent email to my private group last winter (2019-2020) and a bunch of people responded.

You sent Today at 5:58 AM

If you data mined you must have found my tips pdf then. Because I actually lost my copy and found it on a really old site. But I wrote it. Published in 2005.


An organization once called me and asked if they could put it in a cd of health info they were providing for underdeveloped countries that had no internet.


I’m like, of course! Please share! I didn’t really understand why they asked but I knew less about copyrighting back then. I only did it because people needed it and I was typing it all out again and again every day and had been for years.


An sent Today at 6:02 AM

We did search yahoo since I am definitely as old as you and knew where to search. We also went through all the rollbacks of fb and all the groups there. The blogs and hospital websites and all university sites were searched. Our recommendations to universities and researchers comes from our groups and therefore it’s intellectual capital we provide to improve the quality of the projects, to improve their interest in certain subjects to research and it provides evidence to support applications for grants for such projects. More money means more research for CTev that all benefits from. Currently I am helping the Universities of Scotland, Singapore, a Kenyan student to get training, two local non profits in Tx and the PIA with i fo on the DTKafo and ADM braces. Our data comes mostly from the adult source, and no I never saw your tips document. When I first posted the bracing progression tips in 2013 dr Herzenberg said and a Dobbs said that is the first brace profession document they ever saw

You sent Today at 6:03 AM

When I talked to Danika at Stanford for the study about talking to your kid about CF I mentioned nosurgery4clubfoot and she's like "oh, you were part of that original group of parents?" And I think there was a study done (I found it the other day) on the groups and their impact. But that was before I got there in 2003. The study was published in 03. There was only a handful of docs who could do it and lots of modifications and lots and lots of surgery. Many went to Dobbs and Ponseti.

You sent Today at 6:04 AM

Well, that's not accurate. Or maybe they didn't see it? idk, it's been there for a long time.

Literature is ultimately the oldest

There's two names on the document, Naomi Powell was my editor and publisher since I didn't have a full version of Acrobat and she did. lol


An sent Today at 6:07 AM

But our group published the first global list of products and feedback on each product on the CRF since 2013. There was no such document available for orthotists and parents that included a breakdown of all products but moreover a progression list. Herzenberg and Dobbs since adopted our brace progression list which lists them from which ones to go to next if the previous one cannot be used based on the syndromes etc


An sent Today at 6:09 AM

I don’t think you are lying at all btw

An sent Today at 6:09 AM

I think it’s the truth, but I don’t think it’s the oldest. The pedorthists and orthotists were first amongst them and we did find that.

An sent Today at 6:09 AM

Either way education needs to change and we are strongly busy with that

An sent Today at 6:09 AM

It should be done soon, recorded and presented by physicians

You sent Today at 6:09 AM

Well I never said it was the oldest. I'm in no competition with this... All I want is to help people not have babies with sores.

I have it hosted on a couple sites now. It's on my professional site as well as the nosurgery one I'm working on.

I wasn't a web dev back then, I can do whatever I like now.


An sent Today at 6:17 AM

Our focus is more the genetics and passing those research gaps on the researchers at the moment. Don’t worry braces and casting will stay a part of it, that won’t change for a long time still

You sent Today at 6:22 AM

who would think that genetic therapy would fix non-genetic cf? That makes zero sense anyway.


An sent Today at 6:22 AM

Exactly so for those incidences a different approach is needed

You sent Today at 6:24 AM

Well there's a lot of us out here with non-genetic cf. It's not all positional. I'm not a fan of that term anyway, it's overused and it makes some kids wait too long to get treated.


An sent Today at 6:26 AM

Agree

An sent Today at 6:26 AM

However we discovered genetic positional

An sent Today at 6:26 AM

That is a whole other group of positional

An sent Today at 6:26 AM

Bracing fails to prevent the MA in those instances and is not ctev either

An sent Today at 6:26 AM

So within the positional diagnosis there is further diagnosis needed

It might be best to not call it that though. I think that's where people get upset. It comes across as if it's not considered to be real.

The only literature I've seen you post are the same studies I found that said more consistency needs to be done in the future. Unfortunately none of them say all the papers are wrong, they just say needs to be standardized for better data. And no study I've seen where Morcuende says he has a 50% relapse rate. BUT lots of studies with an introduction where he says it's "reported" up to that high. That's not the same as him saying it though.

Towards the bottom, right above the link for the Dobbs brace is the link to my pdf. That is the real original version. You can tell because it has my quest.net email addy on it. I can't get to that email anymore. That's where the email I got from Dr. Ponseti was. I'm sad that I don't have it now.

Phrasing

You sent Today at 1:44 AM

I was the first to describe to bend the knee, dorsiflex the foot, etc. Probably the one thing that every parent should be doing when they put the shoes on. Any shoe.

You sent Today at 1:44 AM

but I don't care if others say it or even put it up in publications. It's a good thing for everyone to know.

You sent Today at 1:46 AM

of course, no plagiarism. that's not cool. Not unless you cite your source. Which I always do. You have to do that. Even if you use a picture from other site, you need to credit the source.

You sent Today at 1:46 AM

So if I ever paste words, I always make sure to quote it and link to the source. Properly, with a title and alt attribute.

You sent Today at 1:48 AM

Images are also important to do that with. My chiropractor got fined $600 like three times because he used someone else's image on his website. I told him... he's like it's fine! And next thing you know he's bitching because they caught him. Three times.

You sent Today at 1:51 AM

but, back to bitching about that PDF. Lol... so take this and put it in your website pocket:


Google can NOT do anything with an image. That is why Flash isn't used anymore, Google can't read photos or graphics. It can only read words. So every time you put an image up, you must insert also a title and alt attribute. The alt is used for screen readers for blind folk. The title, well it's a title. Also for links. If you put a link in, make sure to give it a title. It'll improve your SEO a lot, especially with images. If you title the image, google will know what the image actually is. Otherwise it has no clue.

You sent Today at 1:53 AM

Same with that PDF. Google isn't going to index it. It'll index the link to it but it can't crawl it any further. Even if it is text. It's not text that browsers can read and that's what google reads.


An sent Today at 1:53 AM

Because of the new suggestions we are publishing now, we have a lot of changes to do, hence we stripped down the site to make space for all the new pubs we will be featuring. These pubs contain information not available in regular literature, that lit still has to confirm and catch up to

Well many of the papers I'm finding I can't find by searching. I find them in the citations on other papers. So I doubt you own the ability to find things that aren't easily searched. I'm doing a fine job of it without ever even seeing your materials. Still haven't. I didn't have the time yet.

You sent Today at 2:01 AM

I have close to 180 papers linked and sorted, and some are pretty obscure. I am lacking atypical/complex papers and need to get into that category better. I also don't have Pirani's classification paper and I also am looking for more stuff on genetic and non-idiopathic, neuromuscular stuff. Those sections seem incomplete or low in papers to me.

You sent Today at 2:03 AM

i'm also interested in foot length and calf muscle discrepancy stuff. Mostly because I've had a theory since my kid was a baby that Ponseti feet have less differences and atrophy than surgical feet. So far the couple papers I've seen are corroborating that.


An sent Today at 2:06 AM

To write the stuff we did, we have made pubs ready to place with all those things already, part of what we submitted for copyright. There will be a new world of pubs in those for you, that includes many related fields of study we undertook to make these suggestions. It would all be revealed soon, but we already revealed to physicians that joined in on the design process. They also took all our literature to peruse themselves. It will fill the gaps you have for sure.


An sent Today at 2:11 AM

There is a huge difference between positional and real ctev. The calf would not be involved in positional

An sent Today at 2:11 AM

Mri studies reveal the difference in real ctev

An sent Today at 2:11 AM

Positional ctev is actually a different group of disorders and I think should be separated from Clubfoot completely in a way. It does not involve bone

An sent Today at 2:11 AM

Easily viable and it holds

You sent Today at 2:11 AM

Well, the calf atrophy does seem to be far less now. Whatever the cause, by using the foot and leg instead of using knives and breaking bones allows the foot to be used and build muscle and grow better. I can show you the studies that find that to be true.


An sent Today at 2:12 AM

Positional should not need any cutting in any ways

An sent Today at 2:12 AM

That was never a good move back then even. Horrid what they did to some in those cutting years

An sent Today at 2:12 AM

But even syndromic severe ctev does not have the healthy tissues for the cutting

You sent Today at 2:12 AM

See I think that's why people get upset with you. You were mentioning that yesterday... It feels exclusionary to people. Like you're telling them their kid's cf isn't real. Which you actually just said. So imagine if your kid had all kinds of issues just like a genetic kid did and someone comes along and tells you your kid's cf isn't real cf. Do you see how that might make someone feel a little hostile?


An sent Today at 2:13 AM

It is stated in literature, it’s not my statement?

You sent Today at 2:15 AM

Care to share?


An sent Today at 2:25 AM

Even under positional there is a distinction between causes at least per my analysis. Will find it for you, but it’s not a priority fir now for me. Too much work waiting this week with meetings


An sent Today at 2:27 AM


An sent Today at 2:29 AM

Read The first page on Google about positional ctev

An sent Today at 2:29 AM

First statement says it lacks abnormality

An sent Today at 2:29 AM

Second one by Steps says it’s not true ctev

An sent Today at 2:29 AM

But please note they are also wrong and confusing you by bringing in true ctev in the conversation there

An sent Today at 2:29 AM

Using the terms interchangeably is what they are doing and it should stop

An sent Today at 2:29 AM

That is deliberate

You sent Today at 2:31 AM

Well, that’s assuming everuyone accepts that nothing but the genetic ones are anything but positional.


Positional to many means that it doesn’t really need treatment. Historically that’s what positional means. So ya gotta do something about that word.


Come up with an inclusive word or something because its not true that everyone but genetic doesn’t need treatment or vigilant bracing. It’s not only genetic that relapse. Not only genetic that are stiff and have high severity scores.

The way it is used is confusing in itself by physicians nonetheless

You sent Today at 2:33 AM

Cf maybe just needs categories


An sent Today at 2:34 AM

No I belief it needs new classification as in a different disorder category it falls under. And there are different types of positional imho based on what we know about it

An sent Today at 2:34 AM

There should be different classes for those based on gene testing

An sent Today at 2:34 AM

Some of the positional ones may be genetic

An sent Today at 2:34 AM

And a certain person, simply positional with no genes involved

You sent Today at 2:35 AM

Such as:


Clubfoot with a side of arthrogryosis


Lol


An sent Today at 2:35 AM

But if the genes are not the same as ctev, it’s caused by a different situation and it should not be classed with ctev. By now they already know it’s not the same

You sent Today at 2:36 AM

Arthrogryposis

You sent Today at 2:36 AM

I always spell that wrong even when I’m trying hard. Heh


An sent Today at 2:37 AM

It is a Complex topics. Did you know that they don’t consider Arthrogryposis to be a disease but only a symptom?

An sent Today at 2:37 AM

It’s crazy, similar to EDS that is misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia

You sent Today at 2:37 AM

Nah, I am still learning about that. I just grabbed something off the top of my head for humor sake


An sent Today at 2:37 AM

Some of these disorders are struggling harder than ctev for recognition as its own separate disorder.

You sent Today at 2:38 AM

But still, clubfoot os a descriptive term. I think it was first used by the Greeks in like 2000BC

You sent Today at 2:38 AM

Also CETV is descriptive


An sent Today at 2:40 AM

It may well be, but data has changed the past 20 years and descriptions in literature are improving and becoming more defined. At least we see the improvement since we started. Is it huge, no but beginnings have been made. Each year especially the next 5 I think is going to be exciting...at least in genetics as a whole. And people are going to learn so much more about the body.

You sent Today at 2:40 AM

Each part of cetv is descriptive. It’s not the term that should be used as exclusive. It’s all congenital, all equinus, all talipes (clubfoot), and all varus.


So maybe genetic needs it’s own name that is not descriptive in that way?


An sent Today at 2:41 AM

Genetics will define the new categories of disease in terms of severity and type to a large extend, it has already started in CMT

You sent Today at 2:42 AM

I’m drawing a blank on cmt


An sent Today at 2:42 AM

It’s a disease

You sent Today at 2:42 AM

Figured that

You sent Today at 2:43 AM

Acronyms I don’t use regularly aren’t quite at the top of my tongue


An sent Today at 2:43 AM

Meaning conditions that they address genetically might be removed permanently as a severe disease if they can fix it and people that used to be able to qualify as disabled will no longer considered to be disabled

An sent Today at 2:43 AM

So disorders as a whole will increasingly change position on the list

You sent Today at 2:43 AM

So I’m looking for the companion paper to dr Ponseti’s 1963 paper, the MA paper. Do you have a source?
