Assess, fit, and wear | Moderate low tone pronation | JumpStart Leap Frog

Kip, a 2-year-old boy who exhibits moderate low tone pronation, benefits from wearing Cascade Dafo's prefabricated JumpStart Leap Frog SMOs. This video follows the bracing process -- from patient assessment to fit and wear of the orthotics, including tips for trimming them to fit inside shoes. Narrated by Cindy Diener, CPO, from Cascade Prosthetics & Orthotics.

Before & After: Low Tone Pronation | JumpStart Leap Frog

This before-and-after video shows a young patient wearing a pair of pre-fabricated Jump Start Leap Frog orthoses. The Jump Start Leap Frog was developed to help young children with correctable foot positions re-align their base of support for improved stability during standing and walking.

Before & After: Low Tone Pronation | Chipmunk

This before-and-after patient video shows a young boy who exhibits low tone pronation benefit from the use of Cascade Dafo's prefabricated shoe insert, the Fast Fit Chipmunk. The unique trimlines of this shoe insert offer a good solution for patients who require more support than an insole, but would be over-braced in an above-ankle orthosis.

Before & After: Strong Low Tone Pronation | JumpStart Leap Frog

This before and after video shows a young patient benefitting from the added stability and support provided by a pair of pre-fabricated JumpStart Leap Frog orthoses. The JumpStart Leap Frog was developed to help young children exhibiting moderate to strong pronation realign their base of support for improved stability in standing and walking. Full wrap-around flexible support ecompasses the foot and ankle for pronation control. A well-defined plantar surface and compression provide proprioceptive input.

Before & After: Strong Low Tone Pronation | DAFO 4

This before-and-after patient video shows a young boy who exhibits strong low tone pronation. He shows distinct heel eversion, marked forefoot abduction, and an absent medial arch. The after video shows him in a pair of custom-fabricated DAFO 4 orthoses with noteable improvements in foot position, stability and gait. Because of his fully-correctable alignment, this patient would also be a good candidate for an off-the-shelf solution: the JumpStart Leap Frog.

Ellen: Low Tone Pronation

This video follows Ellen, a 2-year-old girl with Down syndrome, during a pediatric physical therapy session. Her physical therapist, Jill Smith, narrates the video and talks about the purpose of various PT exercises shown throughout the session. Includes commentary and tips for working with toddlers.

This before-and-after video shows a young boy who exhibits low tone pronation benefiting from the stability provided by a pair of custom-fabricated DAFO 4s. The DAFO 4 comfortably surrounds the foot, providing the patient with reliably stable support. With the foot comfortably held in a good functional position, the patient gains confidence in the ability to stand and bear weight, encouraging the use and development of walking skills.

Before & After | Knee Hyperextension | JumpStart Kangaroo

In this before and after video, a young girl wears JumpStart Kangaroos to help control her knee hyperextension. The solid proximal-posterior upright of the JumpStart Kangaroo blocks her plantarflexion, preventing her from hyperextending at the knee. Because there is no proximal anterior strap, her leg is free to move into dorsiflexion.

Before & After | Knee Hyperextension | JumpStart Kangaroo

Before & After | Mild Knee Hyperextension | JumpStart Softback

In this before and after video, a young girl wears JumpStart Softbacks to help control her mild knee hyperextension. The padded Dacron posterior strap resists her plantarflexion, reducing her knee hyperextension. The SMO design allows her leg to move freely into dorsiflexion.

Before & After | Mild Knee Hyperextension | JumpStart Softback

Before & After | Strong Pronation | DAFO Tami2 Free Ankle

This before-and-after video shows a young patient with very strong pronation wearing DAFO Tami2s. The DAFO Tami2s allow the patient free dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, but control the patients strong pronation because of how high up the leg they go, giving more control for pronation than SMOs.
