The patient in this before-and-after video is shown wearing the JumpStart Bunny, Cascade Dafo's prefabricated SMO-style orthoses. This off-the-shelf design is helpful for young patients who exhibit pronation and swing phase inconsistency. The Bunny's tall "ears" carry a strap which provide sensory cues to encourage heel strike.
The soft durable pad and strap combination of the DAFO Softback help this patient keep her heels down so she can achieve a good heel strike.
Her pronation is corrected and she can access free dorsiflexion to help build strength and range.
