will help prevent any plastic orthotic addition from damaging the carbon composite footplate. SoftKIT™ interfaces and SoftSHELLs are

KiddieFLOW™ bridges the gap between insoles/SMOs and our current KiddieGAIT® and KiddieROCKER®. KiddieFLOW™ allows for
better control of foot positioning in late swing which, in turn, aids stability during stance. It also give dorsiflexion assistance
in the swing phase, while allowing for more range of motion in stance phase.
