Description: This on-demand course introduces orthotists to Surestep’s latest innovation—the Surestep SMO3D. Building on 25 years of expertise and more than 2 million SMOs provided to children, Surestep has integrated its proven dynamic stability into a 3D‑printed design. With new structural features and a consistent, low‑profile fit, the Surestep SMO3D supports the development of gross motor skills while maintaining dynamic stability. 

The course includes case studies of pre‑ambulatory and early ambulatory children, highlighting their progress with the Surestep SMO3D. Participants will also learn practical guidance on ordering, fitting, and educating families and healthcare teams about our new Surestep SMO3D. 

Objectives:

  • Brief understanding of pediatric development 
  • Understand the difference between dynamic stability and static stability and when patients can benefit from each 
  • Review key design features of Surestep SMO3D
