The Dobbs Bar

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.

Shaped By Perfection

Dycor's ADL-LCD Lisfranc/Chopart Energy Returning Foot provides maximum flexibility and resiliency, strength of attachment, and anatomical support of hindfoot, with minimum weight (12.5 oz. with foot shell, 26cm med) and socket clearance (3/8 in. including foot shell).

The forefoot is horizontally split into five segments to maintain the same degree of forefoot flexibility regardless of medial and lateral shift of the floor reaction. Integrated carbon fiber "tie-ins" around the heel portion of the keel are epoxied directly to the end of the socket, forming a stronger lap joint between the heel segment of the keel and the prosthetic socket.
