The miracle of walking
Dr Ignacio Ponseti revolutionised the treatment of children with 'club foot' replacing invasive surgery with physiotherapy.
An American doctor, Ignacio Ponseti, revolutionised the treatment of children born with 'club foot' - where their feet are turned in and under, and which had previously been treated with surgery. His method, which relied on physiotherapy and the use of braces, was less invasive and more successful long-term. Caroline Wyatt has been hearing from one of Dr Ponseti's early patients.
