Clinicians Corner

The SureStep SMO's have had a huge influence on the way I approach the foot and ankle in our pediatric patients with stance phase issues. Though we have had great successes in our own methodology of controlling foot and ankle alignments without pressure, the SureSteps have created a functional response at terminal stance that we never thought we could get in a lower profile orthosis. The concept of hydrostatic compression to harness alignment and the energy at toe has been a lot of fun to see.

We've had amazing functional improvements in step length, base of support and toe out that we've quantified using the Gaitrite. We've made nonambulaters walk and poor runners run. It's an easy sell when you create outcomes like this over and over again. You get alignment and function all in the same small package. Who knew you could get fits like this taking measurements? Not me!

We look forward to the continued relationship with SureStep and the support you offer to the orthotics industry."
