SureStep SMO The SureStep SMO remains the most advanced method of controlling excessive pronation and providing stability to the hypotonic population. Suitable for patients up to 80 lbs. Through the use of extremely thin, flexible thermoplastic, the SureStep SMO compresses the soft tissue of the foot. This compressive force stabilizes the foot and ankle complex while still allowing for the development of the intrinsic muscles, muscle strategies and movement patterns necessary to develop a normal, natural gait pattern. The SureStep SMO has revolutionized orthotic management for children with hypotonia and has become the mandated method of treating this population in many areas of the world. No Casting Required Many custom orthoses require casting which is a time-consuming, messy and often a traumatic process for smaller children. SureStep SMOs require only nine easy measurements. It's simple, it's quick, and it's effective. No Adjustments, No Waiting SureStep products are available to orthotic and prosthetic facilities nationwide and in 30 countries around the world.
