Description: This live webinar 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 
  • Understand patient population that benefits from the Surestep SMO3D 
  • Review several case studies of patients who are pre-ambulators and early ambulators using the Surestep SMO3D 
  • Discuss ordering process for Surestep SMO3D 
  • Review parent and caregiver education

Connecting the Chain: Understanding Whole-Body Orthotic Management in CP

This course challenges the misconception that managing cerebral plays is only about lower extremities. Effective orthotic intervention requires understanding how the entire body develops and moves as an integrated system. This course reviews how cerebral palsy can impact pediatric development and how Surestep’s lower extremity and postural control solutions can create coordinated solutions to improve postural control, gait, proprioception, and active participation.
