pediatricdynamiccustom

PF block, DF free, Softy liner Key Features Custom-fabricated from cast or scan -- no plaster casts Softy Liner made of foam provides more comfortable control of feet that are difficult to align or have sensitive boney prominences Proximal posterior blocks plantarflexion, allows free dorsiflexion, and provides additional medial/lateral stability Full wrap-around shell for flexible control of foot position and alignment Defined plantar surface contours Other liner materials are available including Polyethylene, Co-poly, and OP Flex Indications For patients who are younger/smaller (generally under age 9). For patients who have excess plantarflexion, very little voluntary control of the ankle, and exhibit consistent toe walking. For patients who have excessive pronation or supination. For patients who require a proximal upright in order to control consistent hyperextension of the knee. For patients who have difficult-to-correct feet and/or sensitive boney prominences. For patients who would benefit from a two-step donning routine: liner is used to control foot position before easing into outer frame. This lighter weight brace should NOT be used to control excess dorsiflexion in a crouching patient.
