Currently, she can walk short distances unassisted using stable ankle orthoses. She exhibits a crouching gait and bilateral spastic valgus flatfoot. Clinical examination reveals weakened calf muscles, likely due to previous interventions and inadequate rehabilitation. Mild supination stiffness is noted in the left upper limb. The surgical plan includes performing a Grice procedure on both sides to correct the valgus flatfoot. This will improve the support function of the feet, reduce the severity of the crouching gait, and increase independent walking ability. Postoperatively, Angelina will be able to attend school using an SMO orthosis and additionally wear ankle orthoses at home.
