Lifts to walk with equinus (ballerina) feet?

Edit Post

Hello, after lengthening tibias by around 6,5 cm, I cannot walk anymore even with the walker because my heels do not touch the ground plus my posture is really bad (duck ass I think) so if I try to walk even with the walker I tend to fall down.

The doctor told me this will go away with time and to use lifts for now.
But how can I fight ballerina with lifts?
Well I can’t even walk or stand for a meaningful amount of time so I really don’t know how to stretch them.

How long until ballerina feet will go away, or at least will let me to walk better in shoes maybe? Weeks? Months?
I think for now my heels are 3-4 cm above the ground.

I don’t know if he’s good. Never had physical therapy before

Use 4cm lifts for now and walk as much as you can. In a few months you would be ok with 3cm lifts. And then with 2 and with time your heels will touch the ground. Your dorsiflexion will never be the same as before LL but you will function normally with time, don't worry.

Thanks. Sorry if I ask again but why did you do atl? stretching and walking didn’t work for you?
