Open Heel SMO
The Open Heel SMO features the Surestep SMO with an open heel modification. This design facilitates posterior weight shifts to encourage improvements in squatting, development of a heel-toe gait, and increased sensory input.
Instead of the standard heel post, the plastic on the plantar surface of the heel is cut away. We also added a very thin molded inner boot to reduce the risk of pinching while maintaining compression and calcaneal position.
Open Heel is a modification that can be made to any of these dynamic stability products:
- SMOs
- Big Shot SMOs
- Toe walking SMOs
- Advanced AFOs
You can also request for it on the SMO portion of any 2-Stage AFO
Dynamic Stability:
These devices provide stability while allowing for flexibility/movement and address atypical tone. Patients are able to actively correct when cued.
