The Paediatric SMO (Supra-Malleolar Orthosis) is a specialized device designed to provide support and stability to the ankle and foot in children with mild to moderate lower limb weakness, flatfoot, or neuromuscular conditions. It helps improve walking patterns, balance, and overall mobility while allowing natural movement of the foot.
At Limbcare Clinic, each SMO is custom-made to fit the child’s anatomy precisely, using lightweight, durable, and comfortable materials. The orthosis ensures proper alignment, reduces strain on joints, and promotes healthy foot development.
Our certified orthotists carefully assess each child’s foot structure, gait, and activity level to provide an orthosis that maximizes comfort and functional benefit. Parents and caregivers receive detailed instructions on correct usage, adjustment, and care for the device.
With the Paediatric SMO, Limbcare Clinic supports children in achieving improved stability, mobility, and confidence. Our goal is to enhance their physical development and independence while enabling active participation in daily activities.
