Pediatric
gait poses special challenges due to the dynamic muscle tone
that often presents in much of this population. Not only are
there the usual ground reaction forces involved in gait biomechanics,
but also top-down spasticity driven forces exacerbate gait deviations
and deformities.
Now,
KiddieGAIT offers innovative options that have never been available
for AFO management of these challenges. Functional environments
can be created that supplement gait function instead of immobilizing
and inhibiting that function.
Indications
Footdrop
Gait deviations secondary to proprioceptive deficit
Idiophathic toe walker with no midfoot collapse
Low tone crouch gait
Spina Bifida
Spastic Diplegia
Muscular Dystrophy
Contraindications
Lacking full R.O.M.
Too rigid foot structure |
