About
Clubfoot is the most common congenital cause of disability worldwide.
Over two million children live with the extreme consequences of a treatable birth impairment, known as clubfoot (or talipes equinovarus) that causes one or both feet to turn inwards and downwards.
Left untreated, the condition is a root cause of illiteracy, abuse, malnutrition, and poverty in many parts of the world. Up to 200,000 babies are born with it every year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries where fewer than 15% have access to appropriate treatment.
MiracleFeet is bringing the low-cost, nonsurgical standard of care, routinely provided in advanced health systems, to low-income countries. The solution is surprisingly inexpensive and results in full correction of the foot in four to six weeks.
95% of cases can be treated using the Ponseti Method which involves a series of plaster casts followed by a foot-abduction brace worn at night to prevent relapse. We increase access to this treatment through partnerships with local healthcare providers in 38 countries . With MiracleFeet’s support, the care is free or extremely low-cost for the families who receive it.
MiracleFeet envisions a world in which all children born with clubfoot receive treatment, enabling them to live fully productive, active and healthy lives.
MiracleFeet increases access to proper treatment for children born with clubfoot in low- and middle-income countries through partnerships with local healthcare providers.
