KiddieGAIT on the Shelves at SPS

Start off the right way-give toddlers an orthosis that allows their little feet to move in a natural gait pattern. KiddieGAIT, manufactured by Allard USA, provides a carbon-composite framework to build an orthosis that encourages functional heel-to-toe gait. While an SMO (molded inner boot) or UCB controls the foot, KiddieGAIT's floor-reaction frame adds dynamic response and lower-leg anterior support and stability while providing an opportunity to manage the knee-extension/flexion moment. This combination allows customized function to meet specific patient needs.

KiddieGAIT is available at all SPS distribution centers nationwide.
