KiddieGAIT offers a carbon composite framework for you to build an
orthosis to encourage functional heel-to-toe gait for children from 3
years of age.
KiddieGAIT BABY-sizes are three smaller sizes where the goal
is to support the foot in early stages and beyond to stimulate
and assist
the child to stand and toddle, providing the support
Allard
for correct functional posture and gait.
Pick up
actual size BabySmall
Can a functional orthotic
environment change the
deformity evolution?
s Early help in mobility may prevent deformity
s Increased weight bearing may help development
s Combine with inner-boot (SMO, UCB, SureStep™)
KiddieGAIT now available in 6 sizes from babysmall
that fits about 9 months of age up to large that
would be for about 9 years of age.
KiddieGAIT should always have a soft interface, like
SoftKIT or SoftSHELL.

IVAN’S PATIENT INSPIRED SOLUTION
Prior to Ultraflex bracing, Ivan wore solid AFOs
and then SMOs to address instability secondary
to diplegic spastic CP. Ivan’s therapist noted
that “The solid AFOs were too restrictive
and the SMOs alone never gave him enough
support.” Falls were frequent, especially when
walking on uneven surfaces. Now Ivan wears
Ultraflex Adjustable Dynamic Response™
(ADR™) AFOs with SMOs. ADR™ braces provide
a solid base of support without restricting

ankle motion (0–40º DF, 0–40º PF resistance
or 

dampening effects). Ivan’s physical therapist
reports, “With ADR™, Ivan can walk all the way
around the outside of the clinic without falling
due to the motion allowed with the ADR™
braces.” Ivan likes baseball and plays third
base. His mom has noticed that “Ivan does not
fall like before and his speed and endurance
have improved.”
For education for you and your team, please call:

Existing coding and coverage applies to all ADR™ technology.
Thank you to Andrew Sutphin, DPT, and Cindy Miles & Associates, Whitehall, PA for their clinical contributions.
A special thanks to Ivan and his family.
