KiddieGAIT—The Latest ToeOFF Product

KiddieGAIT^TM is an engineered composite frame with anterior shell, lateral strut, and an energy-reflecting footplate with open calcaneus, all designed to allow customization of the frame into a ground-reaction AFO or a partial-foot prosthesis. The energy-reflecting properties of this system reduce the amount of energy required to lift and move the foot forward.

The anterior shell design triggers enhanced "position in space" proprioceptive response and assists in management of proximal deficits by helping to overcome either knee hyperextension or crouch gait. Functional environments can be created that supplement gait function instead of immobilizing and inhibiting function.

The Dobbs Bar

A Revolution in Clubfoot Treatment
Matthew Dobbs, MD, designed this new dynamic clubfoot bar to allow active movement, preserve muscle strength in the foot and ankle, and be less restrictive to the child than traditional fixed-bars. Children using the Dobbs Bar can crawl and kick their legs independently. Children will sleep better because they can get comfortable in the Dobbs Bar, and heel blisters commonly associated with fixed-bars are no longer a problem. The Dobbs Bar is adjustable from 8 to 14 inches to accommodate growth; no need to buy replacement bars. The foot plates are universal and can be attached to shoes and AFOs. The results are better compliance, a more active child, and happier parents.

Redesigned StepLock Handle

OTS Corporation has redesigned the StepLock handle to allow the use of a special bail kit. In the past, a stiff connection between the two joints risked one side locking while the other was not completely locked, causing the last ratchet tooth to be worn away. The new bail kit has rubber grommets inside the connection, allowing some play between the two sides. The kit attaches through two spaces in the redesigned handle, which allows for a better lever release kit connection. The new handle is less obtrusive and less likely to catch on clothing. It is now standard on all StepLocks ordered.

Ossur's PROPRIO FOOT Provides Unmatched Stability and Safety

Ossur's PROPRIO FOOT® is an artificially intelligent, motor-powered prosthesis that helps replace the function that the body's central nervous system would normally play.

• Sense: Using advanced motion-sensing accelerometers, the PROPRIO FOOT can "sense" the surroundings of each step and accommodate for action.
• Think: As fast as it measures, the data is fed into the "brain" of the device through TerrainLogic^TM, identifying specific motions to enable a response to variations.
• Act: Foot motion is continuously analyzed. For each stride, gait pattern recognition algorithms in the foot are used to detect and identify when and where a user is walking.
