KiddieROCKER®

KiddieROCKER® is developed to meet children with more severe problems, and not only foot drop. The kids may have bilateral weakness and need more proximal stability thru Stance Phase. Just as the other Pediatric Allard models, KiddieROCKER® is dynamic graded in stability in the different sizes. This model also gives an increased stability in M/L and A/P plane.

Recommended Range Of Application

KiddieROCKER® is designed to support footdrop, gait deviations secondary to proprioceptive deficit (either unstable or low-tone gait), toe-walking with no midfoot collapse, low tone crouch gait in conditions such as Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy.

Contraindications

KiddieROCKER® should not be used when patients present with: Lacking ROM towards dorsiflexion (need at least 5° dorsiflexion past neutral). Very rigid foot structure, Quadriceps spasticity, excessive postural Genu Valgum or Genu Varum, fixed/ non correctable postural Pes Valgus or Pes Varus.

Preliminary research suggests the use of a kinetic return ankle foot orthosis is associated with small but significant shortterm increases in calf circumference, which in turn suggests this type of device might reduce or protect against the risk of disuse muscle atrophy.
