KiddieGAIT is part of the ToeOFF-Family and gives toddlers an orthosis that will allow their little feet to move in a more fluid and natural biomechanical gait pattern. It is made from Carbon composite with anterior shell, lateral strut, and an engineered footplate with open calcaneus.
Designed to allow integration of a custom foot orthotic to help control ground-up-forces. Anterior shell to assist in management of proximal deficits by helping to manage either knee hyperextension or crouch gait. KiddieGAIT is intended to support the foot/ankle complex in a more functional posture while allowing more normal ROM during the developmental years.
Recommended application: KiddieGAIT 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 and Myelomeningocele.
It is not recommended for patients who present with: Lacking ROM towards dorsiflexion (need at least 5° dorsiflexion past neutral), Very rigid foot structure, Quadriceps spasticity, Fixed postural Genu Valgum or Genu Varum
It is recommended that the Kiddiegait AFO should have a soft interface between the orthosis and the tibial crest. SoftKIT is a padding system that includes two narrow neoprene pads to create a pressure-free channel to help relieve any potential discomfort from bony prominences. Click here to view the SoftKIT.

Where can I see and try on the different braces and supports?
Since many of the products we sell need to be prescribed by a physiotherapist or fitted by an orthotist, we recommend you discuss this with a specialist first. However, if you already know what you need, you are welcome to buy directly from us through this website. If you need additional help, our Customer Care Team are on the phones every weekday - you can email them (click here)Â or phone them on 0800 31 61 81.
We do not have a store or showroom and therefore if purchasing through our website you are unable to see the product first. We do however accept exchanges and returns for items that have not been used and are still in their original packaging.
How can I purchase these items?
If you know exactly what it is that you are after, you can purchase many items directly through our website.
Some items must be prescribed by an orthotist or medical professional and will show POA instead of a price. For these products, please chat to your physiotherapist, orthotist or a medical professional about how you can be prescribed and fitted for the item.
Will ACC pay for the cost of the brace or support?
If you require the product due to the result of an accident, you may be able to have this item covered by ACC. We recommend that you discuss this with your ACC Case Manager first. We are unable to charge ACC for any products unless we receive a purchase order from them.Â
