KiddieFLOW™
In response to clinician requests for an orthosis with more foot plate flexibility, Allard USA has extended its pediatric AFO line with KiddieFLOW™. KiddieFLOW™ allows for better control of foot positioning in late swing, which aids in stability during stance. FLOW models offer increased ROM in the sagittal plane and a smoother transition (flow) throughout the gait cycle.
