Ankle and foot orthosis KiddieFLOW™

pediatricLM

KIDDIEFLOW™ Unlike KiddieGAIT®, KiddieFLOW ™ is more flexible in the heel and toe area of the footplate and allows a greater range of motion. KiddieFLOW ™ is based on the same principles as our adult FLOW models and retains the same geometry as KiddieGAIT® and KiddieROCKER®. The orthosis supports the dorsiflexion of the foot in the swing phase, provides better control of foot positioning in the late swing phase, which in turn improves stability in the stance phase. At the same time, the softer foot blade provides easier roll off at the end of the stance phase. For a combination of increased A / P and M / L control, can KiddieFLOW ™, in addition to our other children’s models, also be combined with individual insoles or SMO. Recommended Range Of Application: Footdrop. KiddieFLOW™ is designed to support footdrop, gait deviations secondary to proprioceptive deficit, unstable gait or low-tone gait, toe-walking with no midfoot collapse, Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy. Contraindications: KiddieFLOW™ should not be used when patients present with: Lacking ROM towards dorsiflexion (need at least 5o dorsiflexion past neutral), Very rigid foot structure, Quadriceps spasticity, Fixed postural Genu Valgum or Genu Varum, Fixed postural Pes Valgus or Pes Varus. KiddieFLOW™ should not be selected for children present with crouch gait.
