SURESTEP

 

 

SMOs

The Surestep SMO (supramalleolar orthosis) revolutionized orthotic management for children with hypotonia. Through the use of extremely thin, flexible thermoplastic, the Surestep SMO compresses the soft tissues of the foot with its patented design; stabilizing children while still allowing for natural development.

 

 

 

 

AFOs

In addition to the Surestep SMO (Supramalleolar Orthoses), Surestep has a range of AFO (Ankle Foot Orthoses) to meet your patients needs.

• Indy 2 stage
• Advanced AFO
• Big shot AFO
• Pullover AFO
• Hinged AFO

 

 

Footwear

Surestep Shoes are specifically designed to fit comfortably over your child’s AFOs and SMOs.

 

 

 

AFOs & SMOs

 

SMO (Supramalleolar Orthotic)

Common Indications

Mild to Moderate Pronation: Corrects excessive inward rolling of the foot.

Pediatric Flatfoot: Supports arch development in children with flat feet.

Ankle Instability: Provides medial-lateral support for unstable ankles.

Hypotonia: Helps stabilize the ankles and improve gait in low muscle tone conditions.

Mild Spasticity: Manages mild spasticity while allowing more ankle movement than an AFO

 

 

 

 

Solid AFO

Common Indications

Severe Foot Drop: Provides complete support for significant dorsiflexion weakness.

Severe Ankle Instability: Offers maximum stability for weak or unstable ankles.

Spastic Cerebral Palsy: Controls spasticity and improves alignment and gait.

Post-Surgical Immobilization: Ensures immobilization and protection during healing.

Severe Arthritic Conditions: Stabilizes the ankle and foot to reduce pain and improve function.

 

 

 

iO Brace – Low Profile Articulated AFO

Common Indications

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD): Supports and stabilizes the ankle to correct flatfoot deformity.

Chronic Ankle Instability: Provides medial-lateral ankle support to prevent recurrent sprains.

Severe Pes Planus (Flatfoot): Offers structural support and alignment for flatfoot conditions.

Arthritic Conditions: Reduces pain and improves function in arthritic ankles and feet.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Alleviates symptoms by supporting the foot and reducing nerve compression.

 

 

 

PLS (Posterior Leaf Spring)

Common Indications

Foot Drop: Helps lift the foot due to dorsiflexion weakness.

Mild to Moderate Ankle Instability: Provides support for weak or unstable ankles.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Stabilizes the ankle and foot during recovery.

Cerebral Palsy: Assists walking in patients with mild spasticity or weakness.

Muscle Weakness from Neurological Conditions: Aids in conditions like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease to improve gait.

 

 

 

Articulated AFOs

Common Indications:

Drop Foot with Active Dorsiflexion: Supports foot drop while allowing ankle movement.

Ankle Instability: Provides medial-lateral stability with controlled ankle motion.

Hemiplegia: Assists gait in stroke patients with some ankle control.

Spastic Cerebral Palsy: Manages spasticity while permitting ankle flexion/extension.

Post-Surgical Recovery: Stabilizes and supports the ankle during rehabilitation, allowing controlled motion.

 

 

 

UCBL

Common Indications:

Severe Pronation: Corrects excessive inward rolling of the foot.

Flexible Flatfoot: Provides arch support and corrects alignment.

Heel Pain: Alleviates pain by stabilizing the heel and supporting the arch.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD): Supports the arch and reduces strain on the tendon.

Foot Deformities: Manages various foot deformities by controlling alignment and motion.
